NOV/RR, can you consider adding a link to forumhub from the TFM front page. I wonder why there is not a link at all to forumhub, used to be there earlier, unless otherwise I missed the link somehow. I did a FIND and couldnt locate it.

Here is some interesting trivia on Alaipayuthey as said by Mani Ratnam himself. I found this message in a malayalam community posted by a fellow ARR fan. I am posting a translation here.
Today there was a program in CNN-IBN called Being Mani. In that program, Mani said an interesting incident at the time of making Alaipayuthey.
Mani wanted to use a song by Backstreet Boys for Madhavan's intro bike sequence. Since he didnt want to copy the song, he officially contacted them and asked for permission to use it. But the amount Backstreet Boys asked in return was a huge sum. Mani aborted the plan and asked ARR to compose a song and that is "Endendrum Punnagai", which according to him, is the biggest hit in the album. (This should be a true story as I clearly remember the first batch of cassettes (which I bought) didn't have this song. It has to be a last minute addition.)
Then years later when the makers of Inside Man contacted Mani for Chayya Chayya, he too asked for a huge sum which they gladly paid. Mani said it was a sweet revenge on the West from his part. :D
So guys, whenever you encounter someone saying ARR copied BSB, just throw this message on their ugly face.

Its ridiculous that Mani even thought of using a BB song when he had Rahman with him.

Does the copyright an issue to just showcase someone hearing a song on earphones, riding bike? :roll:
-
Yes. there r laws which can punish the user of a song in any form without prior permission.
