Maestro ilaiyaraaja news & titbits

[NOV]

Everywhere I hear of problems between KB and IR.
But this video seems to contradict that..
there is also the juicy stuff on Ajith & Vijay, but that is not the point here...

I guess, this one is from Dhoni Audio launch. He only said "his melodies" may not fit the "mass" heroes; that's how i understood it

Thanks Krish for the link. Any information about the modalities of the show?
I assume it is a free show but are passes needed for entry?

No idea about other details Ashivanji!

thanks,

Krishnan

Did anybody hear about the movie Rajjo for which IR is composing background score?

http://www.telegraphindia.com/112061...p#.UFQvR40gdBk

“Ilaiyaraaja has done the background score. Binod Pradhan (Rang De Basanti, Devdas) is doing the camera. Birju Maharaj and Ganesh Acharya are the choreographers.... I’m learning a lot!” she said.

This film has music by Uttam Singh! Not sure if Tanushree was misinformed that IR's is doing BGM or if indeed IR is doing BGM!

"...Besides Manjrekar, “Rajjo” also stars Prakash Raj, Jaya Prada, Paras Arora, Tanushree Chakraborty, Dalip Tahil and Swati Chitnis. Four Pillars International Pvt. Ltd. are the producers of the film. Uttam Singh scores music."

Got the details of the events from FB
http://www.facebook.com/BengaluruGaneshUtsava?ref=ts

Contacted the number and got confirmed that it indeed is a free concert and if one is interested in performing some special pooja then they can book in advance and they would be allotted passes for seating.
So music fans can attend but be prepared to stand! Any thing for IR is it not?

ashivanji, unlike some of his other recent concerts, this one has had decently good coverage and publicity so far. There are huge banners/cut-outs at several areas in the city (including two big hoardings inside and outside the airport ) all of which have Raaja at its centre.
