Kamarajar Hall was bursting at its seams this evening, thanks to the presence of A R Rahman who was there to chief-guest the audio release event of the movie Eesa. Released he did and revealed that his presence in the event was to express his gratitude to Sridhar, whose music troupe Rahman was part of when he was only 13. It’s Sridar’s son Haran who scores for Eesa. The audio was released by him and received by the cast and crew of the movie. Sridhar, during his address, requested Rahman to answer a few questions about whether he would continue to work in Tamil movies and if he had any plans to settle overseas. Rahman denied the doubts as rumors clarifying that he is part of projects of Mani Ratnam, Shankar and Gautham. “And about settling abroad, I never had any such intentions,” he reassured. Vignesh, who addressed the gathering, disclosed that there were apprehensions about the title during the commencement of the movie. “People said that the movie’s name signifies a powerful god and that the movie would earn the wrath of the god,” he stated. Rahman, who spoke after this, clarified that Eesa also means Jesus Christ and that the movie has the blessings of Christ. Two songs were screened at the event including the remix of the Yaaradi Nee Mogini song. The event was attended by Ravi IPS, Joint Commissioner of Police, actors Jiiva, Karan and Producer council members. Produced by J Jeyakrishnan, the movie is directed by Bala Ganesan. -- regards, Vithur
