A R Rahman is returning to the small
screen and this time the maestro back
for a musical show Mission Ustad.
The show, a joint venture between the
United Nations and production house
Endemol, will feature some of the best
entertainers in the country. Mission
Ustad will be on air on the new Hindi
entertainment channel 9X.
It aims at spreading awareness about the
United Nations Millennium Development Goals
(MDG).
Rahman in his press address said: I am
delighted to be part of 'Mission Ustad' on 9X.
Many eminent names from the entertainment industry
will join me on the show. I am convinced that
the partnership will bring about the desired
awakening among Indian viewers, and the show
will touch the hearts of the nation in a very
entertaining manner.
Rajesh Kamat, who heads the entertainment
channel, 9X, said that music was the only
universal language that could reach and bind
everyone. They felt this effort was very
important and if India didnt achieve the MDG
by 2015, which aims at alleviating the lives
of the socially marginalized, it would be
detrimental to Indias future. When it comes
to serving a cause, Rahman is one person you
can count on. His earlier stint with the UN
composing an anthem for poverty was another noteworthy
effort.http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-news/oct-07-04/23-10-07-rahman.html __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
