– Important too. |

When
you look at Rahman’s list
of movies in Tamil you will
see that there is complete lack
of associations with any of
the younger crop of Superstars.
Rahman’s partnership with
Rajini and Kamal has been very
successful with two huge hits
with both of them. But apart
from them, very few movies with
the next set of actors like
Vijay, Ajith, Vikram or Surya
and no projects with the third
set of actors like Simbu, Dhanush,
Srikanth, Vishal and Jeyam Ravi.
When it’s a big star’s
movie, the opening is huge and
expectations are high. Even
average music seems to thrive
on such conditions. |

Unfortunately,
Rahman off late has not been privileged
with this luxury except for Ayutha
Ezhuthu and Sillunnu oru kadhal. “A
movie’s opening and performance
seems to compliment audio sales these
days”, says a representative
at Music world, Chennai. When there
are no stars in the cast, the opening
for the movie is not huge. Ah-Aah,
E20U18, Kangalal Kaidhu Sei and Parasuram
are some of the projects that the
maestro would have avoided just on
the basis of lack of good story or
cast. |

Conclusion
Though there has definitely
been a lapse in selecting projects
in Tamil, it’s just a matter
of time before the Madras Mozart rises
back to his legendary position in
Kollywood. “Sivaji with Shankar
and Rajini has generated huge expectations
and is most likely to open the floodgates
for audio market”, adds an official
from Star music. We sincerely hope
Rahman takes the extra care in selecting
projects down south and wish him all
the best in his endeavor. |
