Dear Rahmaniacs, Director Vasanth has been credited with introducing Actor Surya, Jyothika, Simran to Tamil Film Industry. He was associated with ARR for his film Rhythm. He was an Ast Director to Balachander, Maniratnam. It was an unforgettable experience working with Rahman for Rhythm. I met him first during Illayaraja's recording in Prasad Studio of Punnagai Mannan. The computerised song. He was in a standing in a corner with a keyboard , with his head down. We didnt know each other that time. Rahman Sir is little bit younger than me . Then I listened to Chinna Chinna aasai in Mani Sir's Venus Colony , when the intial recording was done. That was at the very initial stages. Then Balachander Sir played the same song to me later. The magic of the song, created an impact in me. Many a times, I have felt many songs to have created impact on me.
Oh La La song in Minsara Kanavu was another song which created an impact in me. When I heard it for the first time., I felt as if the song was going on for long time. I didnt like it first time. Then, after hearing the song repetitively, it became my life, and I couldnt stay away from it. Initially, I liked Thanga Thamarai Magale song from the same film, and later got hooked to Ooh La La . He is currently doing a film called Nadai Udai Bavanai. Detailed interview of Vasanth abt ARR will be aired next week. -- regards, Vithur A.R.Rahman - The Adorable Human Being
