Endiran - Telugu producers demand 30 crores !!!

The filmmakers of Endhiran - Telugu version are demanding Rs 30 crores for the rights of dubbing version of the film in Telugu. It is more than the Rs 20 crores that the Telugu version of Rajnikanth super hit flick ‘Sivaji-The Boss’ had been sold and so the Telugu producers are treading the line with caution. But Kalanidhi Maran, the producer of ‘Endhiran—The Robot’, argues that the latest film has unparalleled gizmos and high tech sequences and the price was justified. In any case, the film in Tamil version has cost more than Rs 100 crores to produce it and so he does not want to sell it without ensuring that the movie had already recovered its cost through various deals. The buzz doing the rounds in the industry is that Aishwarya Rai has done superb job in the film and even Rajnikanth praised the lady to skies during its music release in Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur. Rajnikanth even joked that if Amitabh Bachchan, her father-in-law, was watching from somewhere, he would have asked him to stop praising Ash so much. But on a serious note Rajni termed Aishwarya to be a born artiste.

When Ash touched Rajinikanth’s feet

The former Miss World, Ash stunned everyone when she touched actor Rajinikanth's feet in the presence of the cast and the crew of the film, Endhiran. Aishwarya’s gesture surprised Rajinikanth too and he lifted up Ash and seeks his blessings. Rajini said the actress that he is like her father-in-law.
Aishwarya was emotional after shooting two years with Rajini for ‘Endhiran’. Recently, producer Kalanidhi Maran had organized a party for cast and crew of 'Endhiran'. Shankar in his blog posted "Our producer Mr. Kalanidhi Maran gave a big party on July 9th for the crew. In the presence of our honorable Central minister Mr. Dayanidhi Maran, I attended the party along with Rajini sir, DOP Rathnavelu, Resul Pookutty, Editor Antony & my crew. We shared all the interesting stories related to the making of the film with Mr. Maran. It was a memorable day for all of us…."

Is ARR's Magic missing in Endhiran ?

He is known as the Mozart of Chennai and it was few years back when he came in as a silent prodigy but soon took the entire world by storm and also won two Oscars. He is none other than A R Rahman and just like any other celebrity, he seems to have lost grip of his tunes. Apparently, Rahman composed the tunes for two of the most ambitious movies in the south. While one is ‘Komaram Puli’, the other is the much hyped ‘Robo’. However, reports have arrived from market and it says that songs are not received well by many. Even the much talked about ‘Raavan’ also misfired musically. Many are now getting into this question as to whether Rahman’s magic is out. While this is one side, the other side is that Rahman has now begun to concentrate on the international circuit and due to this, he is unable to connect with the Indian masses. At one end, some say that he is a level headed music director with success not his first priority. Well, it is about time he opens his mouth and reveals something or let his music do the talking.

A.R.Rahman's daughter sings in Endhiran

The hot news about endhiran is that the oscar winner A.R.Rahman's daughter , khatija Rahman sung for the first time along with the great legend SPB. Lyrics penned by Vairamuthu are released under the Think Music label.
The opening song in a Rajni film needs to have a standard format. It has to be sung by SPB with his unmistakable gusto. It must have some pulsating beats and it must make you snap the fingers and tap your feet. Hope Rajini and ARR repeats their magic again... Jai Ho:)
