To kamal association raaja has already become a thing of past. here's the man once declared to no Rajkamal banner movie would be released without the music of raaja. You cant blame him either, in the past he used to cite commercial compulsions... now Rahamn had won oscars he is sure like to work with him as that will enable him to realize his own oscar dreams...Quote:

India got independence in 1947. We are in 2009 now. ok-va? :)
Makkale,
Can we stop the customary Kamal-bashing and talk about Ilaiyaraaja instead? A humble request...
I dont think Kamal was insistent about IR in every production of his. Nammavar and Kuruthipunal did not have music by IR.
Raagas,
Raajkamal Films didn't produce 'nammavar.' Off the top of my head, Raaja didn't score the music for 3 Raajkamal films. 'kuruthippunal', 'chaachi 420' and 'naLa dhamayanthi.'
I am sure if Raaja had scored for dasavatharam..the film cud have reached more heights...
N Thabela's new tele serial Vadakkathi ponnu on 2010 ok-va? :)Quote:

Kamal has already lost/burnt his fingers with a brilliant Hey Ram (it had all the ingredients of becoming one of the alltime greats, but simply turned turtle) and an absolute disaster Alavandhaan (a perfect 'dhrishti suzhi' in Kamal's career in every manner imaginable - the only thing that Kamal got out of this film were an extra 15 pounds which refuse to go away!) - whether he is producing or someone else is doing it, at this juncture in his career, i dont see whats wrong on his part to work with someone who is 'THE'composer who can deliver a product that is more than just 'commercially' viable
My cents - further, if IR ends up releasing his symphony or any of his orchestral works, and ends up becoming popular and globally recognised, will he say Yes to work with future Kamal projects if approached ? thats a billion dollar question for which i dont have an answer!

It was kamal's statement about atleast having raaja in his home productions if not in all his movies even before Rahman made entry to films.
So dont try to be too smart ok va. 8-)
One more thing the relationship between kamal - IR or Rajini - IR is beyond the commercial aspect which time and again they proved it.
Instead of spending time on reeling out the statistics i wish you read the post properly.
He will work for sure. Kamal knows how to get the things done from IR if the past is any kind of indication... who would have scored for a movie which another composer already completed and left...Quote:
