CHENANI: Gautham Vasudev Menon’s eight years of dreaming to work with the Academy Award winner came true with the film Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa. The director himself played the role of MC at the audio launch of the film. Much before the arrival of the stars, the Sathyam Cinemas was filled with Rahman’s fans to hear his music.
Playback singers Chinmayee, Vijay Prakash, Blaaze, Devan, Karthik and Naresh Iyer gave a live performance of all the seven songs in the film and the director himself narrated the situations. And when the visuals of three songs were screened, the crowd cheered and gave a big round of applause. A R Rahman officially released the CD and actor Kamal Haasan expressed his wishes to the whole team. Rahman said, “It was amazing to work with Gautam and we’ve put in a lot of hard work.” Simbu, who was happy and excited, said at the launch, “People say I look beautiful in this film but I’m always beautiful. Thanks to Gautam for making me even more beautiful.” Trisha, the heroine of the film, was absent on the occasion but her mom was present and enjoyed the whole evening. With lyrics by Thaamarai, the film is all set to hit the screens next month. -- http://www.expressbuzz.com/edition/story.aspx?Title=Lyrical+Splendour&artid=N7FXorFqlzY=&SectionID=lifojHIWDUU=&MainSectionID=lifojHIWDUU=&SEO=&SectionName=rSY%7C6QYp3kQ = regards, Vithur
