Kerala govt to honour Oscar Tamilan


AR Rahman’s accolades still haven’t stopped poring, even two months after the Oscar was announced. The next in line to honour the musical genius will be the Kerala State Government. Isai Puyal AR Rahman’s two Oscars have not only made India proud, but have also put to rest all news about the musician’s popularity plummeting in South India after he undertook more Hollywood and Bollywood projects. In fact, the music composer will perform his first live concert after what he did in Kodak Theatre during the Academy Awards ceremony, only in Kerala on May 3. Tickets for the concert, which is in Kozikode, have been selling like hot cakes, with tickets worth Rs 25,000 even being sold. As the musician will be in Kozikode on may 3 anyway, the Kerala government has decided to conduct its felicitation event on may 3rd morning. Leading luminaries in the music and acting field, apart form chief minister Achuthanandhan, will be part of the event, say organsiers of the show. Rahman conducts the concert in the evening to sponsor treatment for HIV positive children.
