that's rite naryanan, Hamsalekha was too gud in "kodi parakkudu".....but he is a successful composer in kannada.......i have seen his name in quite a few kannada movies.....
coming back to the topic, whom does rajini want???? does he want IR at this point of time or ARRahman??? i think his options were wide open for shivaji, he cud have selected anyone but he agreed to ARR........i guess that had to do more with AVM's directive but still rajini prefers ARR over to IR is a open-secret.....
