Rahman disappoints with Avengers track

As the film’s predecessor Avengers: Infinity War, grossed more than Rs. 200 crores in India, the makers realized the market value of our country. Hence, this time, they roped in AR Rahman to compose a special track for the End Game to promote it in the Indian market.

Rahman composed the track in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. The Hindi track was released the other day and to be frank, it was a bit underwhelming. The Marvel fans felt that Rahman couldn’t live up to the expectations as the feel of the song doesn’t accompany well with the tone of the film.

Meanwhile, everyone is gossiping about the film’s director Shankar not roping in AR Rahman as the music director for the project. Usually, it is Rahman who happens to be the music director for Shankar movies. If not Rahman, Shankar would pick Harris Jayraj but surprisingly, Shankar got Anirudh on board and this move is leading to a lot of discussions on the social media now.

Meanwhile, the inside buzz is that Shankar wantedly took this decision to make sure that the young composer gets some fresh tunes and Rahman is not as consistent as he was during the earlier times. Also, Anirudh is currently happening composer who worked with Rajinikanth in Petta.

Star director Shankar Shanmugan recently wrapped up an exciting project titled 2.O. The director is currently busy shooting for an exciting project Bharateeyudu 2, which is the sequel for the super hit film Bharateeyudu. The movie is releasing in Tamil as Indian 2.

Shankar has surprised one and all with the selection of the music director. Shankar usually works with Harris Jayraj and AR Rahman but surprisingly, he has ignored both of them for this movie.

Shankar has picked Anirudh Ravichander now over AR Rahman and it is creating a discussion all over the film circles. Shankar wants a young composer on board who is currently on a roll. Anirudh is having a streak of hits and Shankar felt that Anirudh might be the right choice for his project.

Lyca Productions is the production house that bankrolled the project.

Amy Jackson and Rajinikanth might just beat what Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif did for Dhoom 3. Their song Malang took 10 days to finish, while the average time taken to finish a song is three to six days.

There will be a huge set erected for the same, much like Shankar’s style. AR Rahman is composing the song, as we speak,” Amy adds. Giving us a little sneak peek into the number, Amy reveals, “It’s a song, with a lot of dancing and romance. It has a bit of both, but it’s going to be a dance track.”

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Rajinikanth had grooved to Naina Mile in the first installment. A lot of money will be spent just to film the song. The Malang song was shot at a budget of approx Rs 5 crore. The song in 2.0 will be bigger as the film’s budget is Rs 400 crore.

AR Rahman’s Concert went bad with language issue

The noncontroversial international musician A R Rahman’s recent London concert has gone in vain. This concert has invited unwanted fight between two regional people.

AR Rahman's Concert  with language issue
AR Rahman’s Concert with language issue

Going into the details, Rahman has recently participated in a live concert in London, UK. Titled as Netru Indru Nalai, only Tamil songs have been sung by his team. Listening to only Tamil songs, the Hindi fans have walked out of the concert and raised slogans against the organizers. Some over enthusiastic Hindi speakers took Twitter to share their wrath. After watching a series of tweets against Tamil concert, Tamil people have started their war on Hindi people via social networking sites. They say that the songs list was given prior to the show and there is no mistake from the organizers. Another Tamilian asked Hindi People whether they can’t wait for one more hour with respect towards their neighborhood region and language. A frustrated Tamilian reminded a Hindi speaker about their wrath when the entire North has forced the South to learn Hindi.

The war of words are still going on but neither the concert organisers not the Rahman are responding on this regard. Hope this issue ends soon.
