Will Bebo play Carmen?
The entire cast and crew of Shyam Benegal's Chamki Chameli is in place but they are still looking for the leading lady
Subhash K Jha
This must be the only project in Bollywood which has hero Sanjay Dutt all set to lend his marquee name to the massive project…. but the heroine is yet to be found!
Chamki Chameli has everything in place. The director Shyam Benegal is all set to collaborate with his Zubeida team of music composer A R Rahman and lyricist Javed Akhtar in what promises to be the first fully-fledged musical spectacle since Chetan Anand's Heer Ranjha where Javed's father-in-law Kaifi Azmi had written every dialogue in verse. Vaibhavi Merchant is supposed to choreograph Chamki in the desi big-screen adaptation of the Spanish opera.
Sanjay Gupta says that one of the names at the top of Sanjay's list is Kareena Kapoor, who incidentally was also the first choice for the Chamki Chameli at a time when Benegal was to make the film for another producer.
But when the project exchanged hands and went to Gupta, many other leading ladies were considered. Finally, Chamki Chameli may go to Kareena again.
There's only one hitch. Kareena is shooting for Mani Ratnam's film in the same location, Rajasthan and within a similar ambience. Even the dates for the two films may clash.
But Kareena does seem the right candidate to play the lead in the newest adaptation of Bizet's Opera about a passionate soldier and a fey capricious gypsy woman, now trans-located to Rajasthan.
Kareena is certainly open to the idea. She says, "Why not? I'm looking at challenging roles now. Carmen sounds so exciting. And it had come to me originally. Besides I've never worked with Sanjay Dutt. A few years ago Mahesh Manjrekar was planning a very different love story with the two of us where I was supposed to play a blind girl. I'd love to be paired with Sanjay Dutt. He's the ultimate looker."

Puli wakes up again
By Behindwoods News Bureau.

Kushi was a much talked about film for Vijay under the direction of S J Suryah. The film earned good reviews across the media and was praised for its unique treatment of the script. Subsequently Suryah-Vijay combination was said to come together again for
'Puli'. But for unknown reasons the project got shelved and Vijay and Suryah got busier in their respective tracks. Kollywood sources alleged that Vijay recommended a few changes in Puli which were not acceptable for Suryah.
Now, Puli is being revived in Telugu with Pawan Kalyan in the lead role. The interesting fact about the Telugu project is that Pawan has accepted the script of Suryah as such and is said to be quite happy about the same. When Suryah was quizzed on this he replied, "The script is exactly the way I had created and there is no change whatsoever". Telugu Puli is being produced by Ramesh whose earlier venture in production was Pokkiri.
WHOA :shock:
A music album from Rahman
IndiaGlitz [Saturday, April 21, 2007]
http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/t...cle/30660.html
A R Rahman is all set to come out with a musical album in the company of musicians from USA and England.
Rahman would be releasing the album through his KM Music for a popular international audio company.
Rahman is currently busy scoring the background music for much-awaited Sivaji starring Rajinikanth and directed by Shankar.
Also, he is composing music for Vijay's Azhagiya Thamizh Magan. He says that plans are on to come out with a Tamil music album very soon.
Will Isai have A R Rahman?
By Behindwoods News Bureau.
April 21, 2007
S J Suryah's recent releases Thirumagan and Vyabari have bombed at the box office without a trace and the director turned actor is dismayed over this. He is said to be at the cross roads in his career when he is contemplating whether to continue his acting department or
just stay behind the camera directing actors or do both. Having come to a conclusion that acting under somebody's direction does not yield the desired result, S J Suryah has deduced that it is best for him to act in his own direction. Hence he has approached Nick Arts Films who had given him the first break, to fund his next film Isai which will be directed by him and also will have him in the lead role. Going by the past history of the music department in S J Suryah's earlier films especially New and Ah Aah where A R Rahman had done a remarkable job in delivering lilting melodies, will Isai have music scored by the Isai Puyal? We'll have to wait and watch.

By Aparajita Ghosh
‘Casablanca’, one of the cult classics of Hollywood, is going to be remade in Hindi by an acclaimed filmmaker.
T Rajeevnath, a National Award winning filmmaker, is all set for a daunting task. He wants to make a Hindi movie inspired from the 1942 flick ‘Casablanca’ that starred Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman.
The Hindi remake is said to be roughly titled ‘Sangam’, and its script has been written by Rajeevnath himself. Rajeevnath believes ‘Casablanca’ is one of the most outstanding movies of the last century.
The Oscar-winning film had Humphrey Bogart in the role of an expatriate American named Rick Blaine, who owns and runs a casino in Casablanca. Ingrid Bergman played Rick’s ex-lover Ilsa Lund, who is married to another man. The film is about the inner conflict of Rick as he finds himself torn between his feelings for Ilsa and his duty to do the right thing by helping her husband, who is a resistance hero fighting against the Nazis.
Rajeevnath is hoping to sign none other than Shah Rukh Khan to play the role essayed by Bogart in the Hollywood classic. According to Rajeevnath, SRK has the charm and flamboyance to carry the role with conviction. Rajeevnath is looking forward to approach SRK in the coming days.
As for the movie’s heroine, Rajeevnath hasn’t decided yet. But he wants an actress of big stature.
For the time being, the filmmaker has signed A R Rahman to compose the film’s music and songs.
The Hindi remake of ‘Casablanca’ will be shot in Andaman Islands and Shimla.
The film’s shooting will begin by the end of this year.

casablanca...the place...where can we get that sort of place in india...that circumstances
are der any songs from the movie ASHOKAN aka YODHA? is der any website which has the songs? :roll:
Do you think someone like Himesh Reshammiya (or any other MD in Hindi films these days for that matter) understands the concept of background scores? Laxmikant-Pyarelal were pretty good. Nephew Monty Sharma (who did a decent job in Black) is the only hope out there.
If ARR agrees to do the BGM for Dasavatharam, that's great. I guess the producers would dub it in Hindi and other South Indian languages, and ARR's name would also add to the hype.

I THINK NO CHANCE ARR DO BGM 4 DASAVATHARAM BECAUSE THE PRODUCER OSCAR RAVICHANDRAN IS 'BIGGGGGGGG ANTI ARR'
Has ARR ever been associated with Ravichandran? From what I remember it seems that they have never worked together....

Yeah the other day I was thnking abt that too, Oscar Ravi could be an anti arr.
But K S ravikumar is a huge fan and associate of ARR.
I still am puzzeled why ARR got knockd out of dasaavatharam..... any info?
ARR backed out. Don't think ARR ever had been "knocked out". He had to work on Sivaji, on LOTR, the Elizabeth sequel... So he backed out coz' he felt he coudln't do justice to the film with the time he had... Samething happened with Anniyan. I think I read in Yahoo groups that ARR first suggested VS's name as a replacement...
IMO :confused2: Yaaru sir avaru???Quote:

ada pavingala. Yenda kamal-a illikkuringa? I'm a kamal fan. I would like to see Raaja-Kamal combo, because it's my favorite, it's both nostalgic and haunting. The style of music and the orchestration is :notworthy:
What I've heard so far is, 'Aandavar didn't get along with Rahman during Indian and tenali'. Again this is unconfirmed speculation!
And, we've already spoken about this so-called 'world' level sh!t. I agree that Rahman is a testament to nationalism and one who strikes the balance between 'desi' crowd and TN crowd. Good for him! But, Raaja is the one who didn't care to please the idiots up north, who loved and embraced people who lifted from Raaja. That's fact.
Moreover, you guys should understand that some combos are impeccable!
Be it Hitchcock-herrmann, Leone-Morricone or Aandavar-Raaja! paathu rasika padanum..poramai pada koodadhu! :)
Raaja has sustained for decades. Virumandi illa hey ram madiri gems kudukka mudiyuma vera yaaralayum? Just like how great Roja and Thiruda thiruda albums are - in a different way of course! BGMs-nu vanda, yellarukum theriyum, who is the king-nu! Just because Kamal prefers Raaja to Rahman - don't degrade him. I'm looking forward to Aandavar joining with Rahman (after Raaja-Kamal of course).
And guys, I'm a Rahman fan too. I used to be a fanatic once (during Roja days). After few years, I hated him(immaturity). But I've changed and I seriously don't hate ARR anymore. He's my second favorite, only after Raaja (just like how you guys prefer ARR to Raaja). Please understand :D
