There
are just eleven more days to go for the Oscar night and the clock is
ticking. We bring you more on the filming of the 'Slumdog Millionaire'
and what the director's take on the sequences are. We all remember the
dance sequence in the film in the final scene which was shot with the
lead stars shaking their legs with a hoard of dancers supporting from
behind.
Explaining this particular sequence, the scene was
shot with 300 dancers and the best thirty or so dancers dancing in
front. The hero of the film Dev Patel who, though of Indian origin, was
not very comfortable to dance. But the director is all praise for the
choreographer as well as the dancers.
And finally the director has very high regards for
the music director of the film, A. R. Rahman. Boyle says ARR is a
"serious superstar". In the director own words: "If you can imagine
Michael Jackson, Tom Cruise and Bruce Springsteen rolled into one,
that's this guy in terms of India. He's called AR Rahman, a beautiful,
modest man who is so famous it's unbelievable.(Experts from an
interview to a website).
You are very correct Mr. Boyle in our country we revere our superstars, and
Rahman sure is the best we can get in music.
