Rahman regrets not meeting Bryan Adams

Priyanka Jain, Hindustan Times
Mumbai, February 06, 2011

Grammy award-winning singer and songwriter Bryan Adams, who is slated to perform in the country next week, will not be meeting Oscar winner AR Rahman this time around. The Canadian artiste and Rahman were scheduled to meet this month to discuss the music industry and possible collaborations in a closed-door meeting.

However, Rahman has been nominated in two Oscar categories for Music (Original Score), Music (Original Song) for Danny Boyle’s 127 Hours featuring James Franco because of which he will be in Los Angeles on the day when he was scheduled to meet Adams. “It is in fact unfortunate that I won’t be able to meet the legend (Adams) in person. I was really looking forward to this meeting and had cancelled all my other commitments for the day,” says Rahman.

Adams too was equally keen on meeting Rahman, who had bagged an Oscar for Boyle’s film Slumdog Millionaire in 2009. In fact, sources say the two were even planning to jam live during Adams’s forthcoming India Tour.

Rahman adds, “I wanted to exchange notes on music and explore possible collaborations. However, I hope the next time I’m in Canada or the next time Bryan is in India, we will meet and take things forward.”

It’s written entirely, 150 individual episodes. We’re waiting to see if Vijay TV will pick it up.”

yes thats more exciting.

AR Rahman, who is set to perform at the Academy Awards that will also see Mandy Moore set the stage alight with her numbers, is expected to collaborate with this international sensation soon.

Rumour is rife that it is during the Oscars that will see them firming up the plan. Top sources in the music industry indicate that both Rahman and Mandy are very much aware of each others music and the sensibilities.

Bollywood wishes Rahman luck for Oscars.

Music maestro A.R. Rahman has bagged two nominations at the 83rd Academy Awards for his work in Danny Boyle's " 127 Hours" and the film frat is hoping that the composer triumphs again at the gala event Sunday.

His colleagues and friends wish him luck and are hoping he brings the golden statuette home again, having bagged two Oscars for the best original score and the song in 2009 for rags-to-riches drama " Slumdog Millionaire". This time, Rahman has been nominated for the original score of "127 Hours" as well as original song "If I Rise".

"I feel great. I feel wonderful because Rahman is one person who has made us so proud and I am really, really happy. I wish him all the best," said Rani Mukerji.

Actor-producer Arbaaz Khan said: "That's a great achievement. The last time when he won the Oscar, it looked like one time dream. I wish him all the best. He is a true deserving candidate and pride of the country."

"He had to get the nominations. He has already has two to his credit. He will continue getting them. He has already made India proud and would continue doing so. My best wishes are always with him," said singer Udit Narayan.

Singer Kailash Kher said: "I congratulate him and wish him all the best. Every year he should achieve more honours."

"The whole country is proud of him. He is good, he is talented and I hope he delivers time and again. I am very happy. I wish him all the best," actor Arshad Warsi said.

Composer Pritam Chakraborty said: "I wish him luck. Anything you say about him is less. If you name a few pride of our country, he is one of them. I wish him all the best."

"It's something to be proud of that an Indian has made a golden mark on the world map," director Vishal Bhardwaj said.

ennakki function?

Could be a rumour. Even if it's true, I doubt they both will work together. It could be a case as in Kisna or Angaadi Theru, where MDs work on separate tracks.

That will only spoil the movie..

aaniyae pudunga venaam.

Rahman with Ilayaraja... It will not happen.

edhukku nadakkanum'garen... adhula irundhu enna kedaikkapogudhu? sila dream combo'laam dream'laye vittuttaa nalladhu...

even in my dreams, I don't want.

yes.. not needed. sanda mattum thaan varum.

oh...don't worry, sandaiyellam varaadhu.
A.R.Rahman is aging gracefully, I trust his people skills & tact. adhumaariyellam vechchukkamaata.
IR with ARR...IT doesn't work. that's all.
I love both Shri.IR & A.R.R
I want them to be happy.
vinatha.

Master... thala-thalapathi solla vandha karutha neenga purinjukkala.....

Enakkum indha combo vendaam. Both have different styles and i doubt if they'l go hand in hand. Hope Mani opts only one. I dont care if its Raja or Rahman.

I don't know how many would agree.

ARR's recent FB update..

What a night... My son Ameen and me saw Toy Story 3 a couple of months back. When the Academy Award nominations for songs came in he said he wanted Toy Story's song to win... Well... It came so naturally from him... At the same time, Randy Newman's son Amos Newman, who is my manager in the US, wanted "If I Rise" to win because he was passionately behind the production, organizing the whole thing. A couple of days back, I asked Amos, "Is blood thicker than bread?" He had a confusing smile!

Last night, Ameen got what he wanted :-)

Twenty nominations and a charming personality... Randy Newman deserved it...

blood bread thick explain.
