Road to Oscars – IV
It's just eight days to go for the Oscars. Will he
or won't he, is the question doing rounds in Kollywood? Can Rahman
bring home Oscars seems to be the query everywhere.
But it looks evident with the hype that the 'Mozart of Madras' is inching
closer towards the coveted trophy.
We have been chronicling the journey of Rahman
towards the pinnacle of glory. Check out the magic weaved by Rahman in
the company of director Shankar today.
The journey of success between Rahman and Shankar
were almost parallel. Soon after Rahman made his beginning with Roja,
he joined hands with Shankar for the latter's maiden venture
'Gentleman'. The songs set a new trend and soon the duo gone ahead to
do films including 'Kadhalan', 'Indian', 'Jeans', 'Mudhalvan', 'Boys',
'Sivaji' and the under-production 'Endhiran'.
Thrilled at his association with Rahman, Shankar had
always marveled at his dedication and hard work. He often referred to
him as a hard working musician who never gives up until he comes out
with convincing music.
Rahman, on his part was equally thrilled to work
with Shankar. 'He is one of the best film-makers, who give more freedom
for a musician. He extracts the best from his music composers and has a
sound knowledge about music'.
The two have been working in tandem and promises to go several miles further.
Some of the chart busters in Shankar - Rahman combo includes,
* Urvashi (Kadhalan)
* Chuiku Buku Railyae (Gentleman)
* Telephone Manipol (Indian)
* Anbae Anbae (Jeans)
* Uppu Karuvadu (Mudhalvan)
* Enakoru Girl Friend (Boys)
* Adhiradikaran (Sivaji)
* Va Ji...Vaji (Sivaji)
With 'Endhiran', the sci-fi extravaganza of Shankar
shaping up fast, Rahman might recreate the magic with mellifluous tunes
for us one more time.
