We have had talent hunts of all kinds, for
singers, dancers, actors, comedians and what
not and now we have a talent hunt for an entire
music troupe. This initiative has been taken
by Sun TV and Sa Re Ga Ma. This search that
is going to span the entire of Tamil Nadu
and Andhra Pradesh will finally zero in on
one talented group that will get a golden
opportunity to make a musical album that will
be released by Sa Re Ga Ma.

The hunt will be quite a thorough process covering almost
regions of Tamil Nadu, right from Chennai to Coimbatore
and Tirunelveli touching Salem and Madurai too. A similar
search will be on in Andhra. At the end of the regional
search, the best teams will be required to set to tune
a song written by Kavingar Vaali under the title Nambikkai
(confidence). The team that impresses the most will walk
away wit the big prize. The contest will be aired on Sun
TV this June onwards.
When the event is this big, the judges too have to be
big enough to justify the event. It doesn’t get
bigger than this! A.R.Rahman will be judging the teams
and he will be accompanied by singer-actress Vasundhara
Das. The official curtain raiser for this talent hunt
was held on Wed evening (May 2nd) at the Park Hotel in
Chennai in which Rahman participated. The news of Rahman’s
presence somehow leaked and within no time there was a
huge crowd outside the venue and when finally it was time
for Rahman to leave it was pandemonium. Rahman was virtually
engulfed by the wave of admiring fans and why not, after
all this is Rahman’s first real public appearance
after the Sivaji audio release. The crowd did not spare
any effort in making their appreciation for the wizard’s
music evident. But Rahman, caught in the middle of a huge
crowd had a tough time. After what seemed to be a very
long time Rahman finally managed to get away from the
swarming fans.
The organizers of any function in which Rahman has to
participate please be prepared, the man has just delivered
one of the biggest musical hits in the history of Tamil
cinema. It would only count as common sense to expect
huge crowds to gather to catch a glimpse of the man who
has given them ‘Balleilakka’, ‘Athiradee’
and other chartbusters.
As for A.R.Rahman, we have only one thing to say. Please
don’t feel flustered, we just don’t know how
else to express our appreciation. Your music is truly
mesmerizing.
