Rahman to take a break from films

Music maestro A.R. Rahman has decided to take a substantial break from films this year. In an interview to a leading daily, he said that after completing Imtiaz Ali's Rockstar, he would take an year's break from films. Reportedly the news has created panic among Rahman loyalists like Ashutosh Gowarikar, Mani Ratnam and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, who work with the Oscar winner. Looks like the directors and Rahman fans have to wait for one long year for new music from him! After all, a Mani Ratnam film without Rahman's music is just unimaginable!

Bountiful year for Rahmaniacs !
The year 2007 saw no audio offering from the 'Beethovan of the East', A R Rahman. Are we missing out his superb compositions from Mani Ratnam's GURU? No certainly not! The audio album of GURU was unveiled in 2006 itself, though the movie released in January 2007. No wonder then that the fans of the maestro were heard complaining.
The reason for Rahman's absence was more technical as he wanted to break the hegemony of some audio giants. However, the current year is likely to more than compensate for his absence last year. While his magnificent JODHAA AKBAR audio is out and is delighting the music lovers all over the world, four more probable gems are lined up. Yes, Rahman's YUVRAAJ (for Ghai), GHAJINI remake and JAANE TU YA JAANE NA (both for close friend Aamir Khan) and also DILLI 6 for Rakeysh Mehra, are all likely to hit the stores in 2008.
Well, Glamsham definitely deserves a treat from Rahman fans for breaking the good news. Happy listening!
