Wow!!! Kudos sureshmehcnit!!! :clap:

I am guessing it will have some sort of a POPish treatment as well. It will not have a raw ethnic flavor. It will be sugar coated or chocolate coated :-)
(Re: your signature - you could say the same for number systems as well..without binary numbers current computer technology in unthinkable.. anybody who is old :-) and has done Comp Science in college .. must remember "analog computers" course. The foundation is mathematics for both music and number systems)

why why? ennaathukku pre conceived notions?
let them start the project, with or without Raaja, it will be a project worth waiting for.

There is harakiri all around regarding the casting of Ponnoyin Selvan..No one really knows the true picture until a formal announcement is made..The funny thing is Hindu said its gonna be Maestro and PC Sreeram for camera whereas Times of India have said its ARR and Santosh Sivan as Cinematographer..Cant really understand whats goin on..

Azhagarsamiyin Kuthirai music release is taking place this Wed,16th Mar,2011 at Sathyam Cinemas from 6.30 PM onwards..

As confirmed by people close to Mani, the man tried his best to rope in both Raja and Rahman and that didnt materialise for obvious reasons.

The 'Obvious Reasons' suggests that Raaja didnt accept the offer and its very bad on his part. Now come to think of it, that he accepts the offer and says that he compose the whole song including tune and orchestration (Raajas strong point) and ARR does Arrangements & Additional programming (ARR's strong Point) would ARR accept this?

I am sure that bringing Raja and Rahman together was only for the business reasons and its not a very good idea in terms of the productivity. Either mani should go for Raja or Rahman because both these gentlemen have contrasting styles of working, composing. They shud not be disturbed just for giving an additional mileage to the project. I am happy that this didn't materialize.
