Sounds good to me!Quote:
"I am looking forward to creating some wonderful music combining Rahman's contemporary world music sensibilities and my old world tastes in lilting melodies," said Chopra.
Yash Chopra ropes in Rahman for his next
One more first for Yash Chopra. After teaming up with Salman Khan for the first time, the movie mogul has now collaborated with Oscar-winning composer A R Rahman for his yet-to-be-titled film starring Shah Rukh Khan.
'I am starting work on the music of my as-yet-untitled film with the very talented Rahman. Apart from the great honour that he has consistently brought to our country, he is also someone that has created some outstanding and memorable music, something which is very important and dear to me and my films,' Chopra, who will also be directing the film, said in a statement.
'I am looking forward to creating some wonderful music combining Rahman's contemporary world music sensibilities and my old world sensibilities of lilting melodies,' he added.
The filmmaker has yet to finalise the female lead for his movie to be made under his banner Yash Raj Films (YRF).
'Everyone knows that when I make a movie, Shah Rukh will be involved with it. He is like family to YRF and I have always regarded him as one of my own. There will be two leading ladies in my film. Once Adi gives me the final draft of the script, I will finalise the two girls who will be cast along with Shah Rukh,' said the 78-year-old whose last directorial venture was cross-border love story Veer-Zaara that came in 2004.
Two-time Oscar winner Rahman is also excited about the opportunity to work with Yash Chopra.
'I am very excited to work with Yashji and I am humbled by his faith in me for his film. I have seen that Yashji always portrays music as the inevitable essence of love and divinity in his movies. I hope as a team we can bring tremendous joy to all,' said Rahman.

I too read this, so was surprised by todays news. However, it's definitely good the two are together so we should be in for a treat. Familiy entertaiment and romantic subjects are feathers in ARRs hat. He's already provided Yash Chopra like tailor made music for Doli Saja ke Rakhna and this was in 1998 so I'm really excited. ... Not forgetting that SRK is also part of the unit and IMO ARRs best work in Hindi has been for SRK.Quote:

good move from AR i suppose.....Yash raj is a big name in Bolly and SRK too - though i dont like either of them, music should come out well, which is all we should be bothered abt - isnt it? :D

A R Rahman and Mick Jagger form supergroup
New York: Academy award winning Indian musician A R Rahman has joined forces with rock legend Mick Jagger, 'Eurythmics star' Dave Stewart, Damian Marley and Joss Stone to form a supergroup.
The double Oscar winning 'Jai Ho' hitmaker has been secretly recording with the 'Rolling Stones' frontman, Bob Marley's youngest son and British soul singer Stone, reported New York Post online.
"They just finished a record and their first video and are talking to major labels about a deal. The name for the band at the moment is 'Super Heavy'," said a source close to the quintet.
"Each member has a very distinct and different style, but it works. Mick has been recording with Dave for a while, and both worked with Joss in the past," added the source.
Rahman, who also won two Grammies for his music in the Mumbai based potboiler 'Slumdog Millionaire', had also collaborated with American music icon Michael Bolton for the latter's new album releasing this June.
'Gems - the duet collection' by Bolton features a melody by Rahman along with works of global pop superstar, Seal, Australian singing sensation, Delta Goodrem and late vocalist Eva Cassidy.
Rahman's earlier international collaborations include The Pussycat Dolls, Akon and a star-studed second version of Michael Jackson's 'We Are the World'.

Yep, I am also not that happy with ARR teaming-up with Yash Chopra.... Most of their movies and music in the last 20 years at best mediocre. (including from son A.Chopra and K.Johar). They mostly want to use their time tested melodies with out much imagination (SAR songs sound creative in comparison). But I do think Chopra family has realized they can not sell old formula any more... they need embrace change. Signing ARR is may be one change. (The other change should be to give some "rest" to Lataji).

Its a free country and everyone is entitled to their opinion, says A R Rahman,when asked about the latest controversy about the Oscars being bought.
On the films front,the composer is busy composing the music for Superstar Rajinikanths Rana.I have completed three songs in the film.The title song Enge Poguthe Vaanam,Ange Pogirom Naam... is sung by S P Balasubramaniam.I will resume work on the album soon after the ailing Superstar returns hale and hearty from Singapore.I recently met him at the hospital in Chennai and had a brief chat with him.Rajinikanth has had a major influence on my life and I am a huge fan of his.I wish him a speedy recovery, says Rahman.
The musician has also completed work on Ranbir Kapoors Rockstar.The soundtrack is ready.The film might not be based on rock music,but its about the experiences of a man and elements that change his life,with rock in the backdrop.Ranbir used to frequent the studio and keenly observe me while I was composing the music.Besides,I have also signed another project with Yash Raj.
And thats not all.The musical genius has just turned a rockstar! He has expanded his horizons by collaborating with Mick Jagger for an album called Superheavy.Dave Stewart,Mick and I did a lot of sessions together in Los Angeles and completed the album 18 months ago.The soundtrack is quite interesting with a medley of rock,soul,Hindi and Jamaican songs,with a Rahman flavour, he says.
Meanwhile,ARR is delighted that his nephew,composer G V Prakash Kumar,who belted out some pulsating music for the National Award-winning film Aadukalam,is making waves in Kollywood.He has put in a lot of hard work to reach where he is today.Im proud of him, says Rahman.Now that his son Ameen has sung for Couples Retreat and his daughter Khatija for Endhiran,will his children follow his footsteps They are learning music,but I dont want to force anything on them.Let them pursue their passion, replies Rahman.And will his wife Saira,who is his designer,turn singer too No, says the musician and adds,She doesnt know music.
The difference between buying an Oscar and buying love
by Vijaynarain Rangarajan on Tuesday, May 31, 2011 at 11:13am
Just back from the A.R.Rahman concert in Bangalore. Every time I attend one I've always wanted to be "up there" instead of "down here" in the audience. But the latter's not a bad place by any means for someone who even remotely appreciates music. This post is not about the concert, so to put it in a nutshell, the concert was one of the best weekends I've ever had.
This post is about something that seems to have happened during the weekend of the concert and irked every fan of the legend. From Facebook statuses to Tweets, everyone is fuming at Ismail Durbar's comments about Rahman.
I am writing this post as someone for whom film music was defined by A.R.Rahman's songs, for whom musical inspiration means trying to unearth the different layers in Kannathil Muthamittal (the song) or the filter attack over the drum loop as Theendai reaches a crescendo, for whom musical nirvana is singing for the man. I am writing this post as a fanboy who looks up to his idol and not as an upcoming singer whose musical dreams were partly realized by singing chorus for him. So musicians and people from the industry, pardon my addressing the legend as Rahman and not Rahman sir, just like you would call Sachin Tendulkar by his first name and not Tendulkar sir.
Coming back to Ismail Durbar, he was the one who made me fall in love with Shreya Ghoshal the first time I heard her voice (though I doubt she would want to sing for him again and feel safe about it). I still haven't fallen out of that love. Devdas is still one of my favourite albums. Now why someone with so much talent and musical prowess( I am using Devdas as a yardstick for judgement) would want to attract cheap publicity by claiming Rahman "bought" the awards beats me. Also what I can't comprehend is why someone who knows his music would not sustain after giving the album of his lifetime. But I am not going to waste time analyzing this. I am a Rahman fan, so what I will do is listen to good music and think of ways to perhaps create some good music if I can. At least I will benefit from the process. If I want publicity, I want it by singing a song or composing it and finding that people like it... you know, the kind of publicity that earns you dignity and doesn't require you to strip yourself of it to gain more.
There are some things that people like Ismail Durbar need to know about true Rahman fans. We are a meek lot. We don't retaliate by swearing on forums, spreading hate mail and the likes. In fact, we don't even like to retaliate when someone speaks ill about our idol. Because we know he wouldn't want us to. But that doesn't mean we will stay silent every time you provoke us. Especially when the allegations are as serious as buying an Oscar. We can get sarcastic in our retorts, but I doubt you would be educated enough to catch it.
We like Rahman because the first time we heard his music, we wanted to know who the man behind the music was. And every single time there was some new music that we really liked, we checked out who it was and discovered it was this same meek looking silent unassuming man. Eventually, instead of listening to the music first and being pleasantly surprised to discover it to be a Rahman composition, we started looking forward to every Rahman release and found ourselves never once being let down by this man.
With time we discovered that there was more to this man than just his music. So we decided to learn from his good qualities. His philanthropy had an effect on our attitude, his humility taught us that no achievement is too great to gloat about, and the art is always greater than the artist. The charity work being done by some of our fellow fans is something Mr.Ismail Durbar probably couldn't have imagined to be a consequence of one man's music, no matter how much his scheming brain tried to think. Because at the root of it all, we are fans of a man whose intentions are noble, whose music touches an emotional chord deep down in our hearts, who we look up to for his music and for the person he is, and not for the awards he has brought. National pride, Filmfares, Oscars were all just a consequence, and reasons for us to celebrate. But they aren't the reasons we are fans of this man.
So what's an Oscar to Rahman fans? It is a sense of pride, it is an important milestone yes, but under no circumstance is it more important to us than the man himself and his music! The Oscar was a just another feather in his cap. A gust of wind may try to blow it away but it is the bearer of the cap that we are fans of! That having said, I would also like to mention here that the Oscars have had a history of reaching people rather late, sometimes not necessarily for their best work and sometimes not reaching them at all. Martin Scorcese, Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Welles, Stanley Kubrick, Charlie Chaplin, Peter O Toole are just a few names I can think of immediately. Of course there is not even a need to justify all this to someone like Ismail Durbar right now. Maybe we'll give him another twenty years just to make more good music if he is capable of that, and then make statments about Rahman getting Oscars. Hopefully by then we would've moved on to greater works from Rahman and the Oscar would be a mere formality.
I speak on behalf of every true Rahman fan when I say this. We may get hurt by allegations and attempts to taint our idol's name, but nothing will stop us from shedding a tear when Swarnalatha sings Porale Ponnuthai, or paying silent homage to H.Sridhar sir while mavelling at Pachai Niramey's mix, or loading our ipods with Yeh jo des hai tera and Des Ki Mitti when we leave our country. We will probably retaliate with posts like this if you continue to provoke us more. But we wont take it any further than that. We will just wait for Rahman's next album and enjoy it. You are too less important for us to bother going beyond facebook posts! Here's wishing Ismail Durbar speedy recovery from whatever it is that is bothering him and hoping he gets back to making music.

resul on ismai darbar
Ismail Darbar is a freaking idiot.I heard he is been saying AR Rahman bought the Oscars!!! One thing he has no idea about how Oscars is been conducted, he thinks that it's some kind of Indain film awards that can be favoured, more than that he is a frog in a well.It's appaling to see fellow artist making such trash statements.There has been a lot of criticism that Slumdog is nor AR Rahman's best work, but no doubt his body of work deserve the highest recognition in the field of cinema, so are like other's important work too.But I'm wondering, what's Ismail Durbars body of work,except Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, which is more of Sajay Bhansali's biggest contribution, what's that he has done the nation is been singing to...It's really bad taste mr.Darbar, you are stooping so low to talk about AR's work in this manner.He has taken Indian cinema in far too height that you can only dream of...Don't be jealous,get real.I feel ashamed of myself having to have said things in this manner about you.A real artist should respect others work and others achievements.I'm sorry I have to say this to you but I can't help it!!!Mr.Darbar, one more thing, it's not AR, I bought the Oscars!!! And I talked about Om!!! The whole world celebrated me, The Academy even put it as the most touching speeches of the Oscars ever, so please leave AR...he is a saint!We had the biggest laugh the other day when I told some of the Academy members about this comment.We are only diminishing our own chances.Our chances of world celebrating us.it is this intolerance of our artists has been the biggest challenge of our cinema.Something that we as Global citizens to be ashamed of and be careful about.
:shock: @ resul

When we feel proud about ARRs,Kamals,Rajnis and Manis, scumbags like Durbar come from no where to spoil the mood..

Sounds like Mr Tarpar has not much work in hand. Mr Email Tarpar not just you, no one in Bollywood can even dream about Oscar. If Rahman doesnt step in to bollywood, no one in the erth will be listening to Hindi songs. Leave alone ARR.. bollywood doesnt even have YSRs HJs or Vs..ofcourse at that low standard you might have atleast a few hindi guys follow ur music. Can understand your agoney. ARR steped in to bollywood set the standards up.. poor you.
unanimously can people be happy for a man's success in this world?...not even once?
