Didn't he market dasAvathAram with near-unknown-in-TN entities for music? The budget / expenses (sappAnla irundhu sAckie chAn vandhAha) / sale / revenue etc weren't any less than the original budget of marudh - just that Kamal didn't have to produce it and / or there were no political issues.

Seriously, I don't think Kamal needs ARR for marketing his product, unless he wants to do it in indhi. (Actually inside TN, it's the other way around. I don't think ARR wants to waste his energy with s/o Bagyaraj & s/o Thanu and such for another project any more :wink: )

One last digression on Plumji's point :-)

Now man's ambu is being marketed without ARR, is it not? With DSP.

Though not possibly of the enthiran proportions, it is still big budget / big price stuff, IMO. Everything being same, replacing DSP with YSR / HJ / GVP / Sruthi / XYZ (includes IR) won't bring it down, will it? Or, will replacing with ARR make it sell at enthiran levels? Highly debatable.

Is the budget of MN such a big number for mu-kA family companies? It's probably not >50% of what they allegedly spent for enthiran.

And they can easily price it proportionately and make money (or claim same numbers and do some "white-wash") :-)

End-digression

I have an excellent idea. Kamal should sell Marudhanayagam story to Aamir Khan. AK will produce it with ARR music. Shruthi can be the female lead. (Make it part of the deal, when selling the story). Kamal can appear is some guest role (not exceeding 5min in Hindi, may be stretched to 30min in Tamil). There are lot of advantages to this plan.

1) The movie will be marketable and watchable.
2) Producer will make some money.
3) Kamal will get some money.
4) Kamal can "re-enter" Hindi market.
5) Shruthi will get a big movie.

:D

I think the title of the thread should be changed to, "varaadha padathuku vara pogum isai." Though I must say in this rather arid times (Raja music wise) this is some 'aval' for everyone to munch on :)

I think app_eng has some valid points. I know app has been a person who keenly observes the economics of film making as well. As he says, Kamal's films have been marketed as just that, Kamal films. So having DSP / Shruthi etc does not matter. If they take in Rahman they will get bigger hype but they have will have to pay more as well and probably wait longer to get the music !!! So if the movie gets made we should not be surprised if Kamal chooses someone like Shankar Mahadevan or Vishal Shekar or even Preetam for the music!!! Once you have chosen Himesh Reshamayya, anyone else can only be an improvement!!!

Aamir Khan already has done MANGAL PANDEY.

Why is he going to be interested in doing a similar show again?

Then taare zameen par & now the production of PEEPLI LIVE.. I am impressed.

PEEPLI LIVE... backed, produced by a big star but acted effectively by not so big names is amazing.
I enjoyed while watching the movie in the theater but later.. the sorry state of affairs really made me sad and thinking...very heavy.
the death of the lone farmer is really :cry: profoundly moving movie.

a good, sensible film doesn't have a high profile music name like Rahman or IR etc.. hype.

for this film
INDIAN OCEAN soundtrack is emotionally touching, folkish, retro...beautiful job :musicsmile: regular folks, commoner can conncet with the compositions and lyrics.

PEEPLI LIVE is India's entry for oscars. Good luck, Aamir!

trivia for you Sanjeevi: the big project I believe involves a major Hollywood (afro-american) star for a major Hollywood production house

mmmmm.... I don't follow media kahanies, box office earnings, their interviews, gossips etc... so I don't know.

I am a regular person ....self absorbed with my own life demands and joys. :)

I watched it one time.

not about hit, flop or the producer made money etc...

MANGAL PANDEY has the similar story like MARUDHANAYAGAM as I understand.

unnecessary ...he may not be interested, redundant for him.

After that Aamir khan has given some nice movies like TZP, 3 idiots and the production of Peepli live... I enjoy watching his films.

vinatha.
