Talks that Marudhanayagam could be revived. IR was (and hopefully "is") the composer...right?

is baba pugazh maalai available on itunes?
I am not sure if Ilaiyaraaja was considered for this project. Long time ago i read that Kamal originally wanted a an Indian Classical Musician and a Western Classical Artist to collaborate for the music of this film.Quote:

Marudh will not be marketeable without Rahman, IMO. I dont think Kamal will get his way on this one, if he wants IR.
Bottomline, nobody is going to produce/distribute Marudh for kalai dhAgam. And such people think very differently from us or Kamal in this matter.
Plum too much credit for Rahman and disgrace for not Raaja but for Kamal
Jai,
I am not sure about itunes. Even though it is a Sony release it is not yet widely available here in Bangalore!!!
KH-IR topic is interesting (though I'm 100% sure there's not going to be another movie from this combo..."patchi" tells).
Whether Kamal thinks that IR cannot deliver goods at present is something to be discussed.
IMO, their last combo, MX, had music that wasn't chartbusting type, but then we don't know what was demanded from IR.
If there's one artist who can demand and get things from IR with total freeness, it has to be KH. So, the general consensus could be that KH got what he wanted. The output, however, failed to please general public (which included me).
Did it make Kamal feel that it's better for him to partner with youngsters who know the "current pulse" of the audience and not keep sticking to --er--outdated-- veterans?
Similar to the decision RK took many years back?
In any case, I'd be surprised if Kamal cannot sell at similar or better prices with IR's music than what he currently manages with Sruthi / DSP / etc music. From that view, I don't buy the "money bags" theory. (Didn't see his interview but hub posts suggested so).
Also, it'd be an interesting question as to whether IR demands a bigger salary than the MDs who recently worked with Kamal. (It's quite possible that IR suggests BSO etc depending upon the script. OTOH, he may probably write the score in remarkably shorter time / without trips to London - Jamaica etc thus saving time and expenses).
This combo may revive only if kamal directs and not acts. the stakes will be considerably less and therefore moneybags and deuchebags can be disregarded for a lofty artistic aim.Quote:
