A.R.Rahman adds more sweetness to the 'Sugar Cube' IndiaGlitz
[Wednesday, May 21, 2008]
There is no need to dig up the history and try to explain how the songs
composed by A.R.Rahman in a lot of movies have went on to become youth anthems
and how the expectations about a film increase and also add pages to its
publicity when the news break out loose that the Mozart of Asia is composing
the music for the songs in it.
The unit of the new film 'Sakkarakatti' can be assured of peppy, spicy,
groovy and addictive music to do service to the ears of the audience as
Rahman's compositions have done several times before being a big support
factor to the success of the movie.
Getting A.R.Rahman to use his skills in a film is a very difficult task given
his busy schedule and if the music maestro selects a movie then definitely he
must have found something fascinating in the story of the film.
So the Job of building an aura around the potential of 'Sakkarakatti' a movie
targeted at the youth has already been half done.
And when Rahman goes for something, he makes it the best.
A Singer Veena Bharatwaj was flown specially from London to record a song in
this new film.
Other singers are Naresh Iyer, now a Rahman regular, Madhu sree, and Benny
among others.
The audio tracks of a perfect blend of classical and hip hop music boasts of
a song titled "I Miss U Da" which has been given sounds and tones that has
never been heard before in Indian Films.
The director of the film himself admitted to have got hooked up with a
youthful and inspiring ambiance in A.R.Rahman's studio when the songs were
recorded.
The director of this youth oriented and colourful movie Prabhu who also
happens to be the son of the famous producer Kalaipuli.S.Dhanu has taken a
bold step in directing a movie just with the film making Knowledge that he has
gained from his father and not by being an assistant to other directors.
The boldness to take the plunge just on their self belief shown by certain
young directors in Kollywood has certainly triggered off a trend among the
younger lot of aspiring directors to follow their dreams with oozing self
confidence.
Director Prabhu follows the marks left back by the success story of another
filmmaker who also happens to have "Prabhu" in his name.
The first time lucky director of 'Chennai 600028', Venkat Prabhu is already
wrapping up his second project after hitting the Jack pot in his first attempt
itself, that too without any prior experience to back up.
A.R.R's music comes as bonus in the true sense for any soon to be released
movie.
Same in the case of this film too, but still it has a heavy luggage of making
careers of two.
Other than a new director the film also marks the entry of Santhanu, son of
the acclaimed actor/director Bhagyaraj into the film world as the leading man.
The audio C.D of the film comprising of 6 tracks will hit the music stores on
June.
The countdown has started as all the scenes except the video of a song have
been canned.
Wait and watch to see how the new Prabhu has tried to hit the bull's eye with
his directorial debut.
