A R Rahman Get 10 cr For Endhiran!


Music maestro A R Rahman, now busy composing tunes for Shankar’s `Robot’, has charged the producer of the film a fee of Rs 10 Crore!
`Robot’, with Rajnikanth and Aishwarya Rai in the lead, is all set to hit the floors soon. Currently, Shankar is on a global location hunt, while Rajni is getting ready for Shankar’s “most ambitious project till date”.
Teaming up with the best has always been the Shankar norm. Who else but Rahman, who has revolutionised Indian film music industry, would fit the bill?
Rahman is learnt to be straining his every nerve to ensure that the music would be something to remember and cherish.
Shankar had set India to the foot-tapping numbers of Rahman, with ‘Gentleman’ (1992). Who can forget the impact that “chik puk chik puk raile” and “Ottakathe kettikko” had on the Indian music lover? The stunner-of-a-music-score had instantly raised Rahman to iconic status. In no time, the humble wizard from Chennai became the toast of the Indian music world.
All the films, which Shankar later directed, except for ‘Annyan’, had Rahman’s lilting numbers as their hallmark.
‘Kathalan’, ‘Jeans’, ‘Muthalvan’, ‘Nayak’ (Hindi), ‘Boys’- all these Shankar-ARR albums went on to become chartbusters.
It was rumoured that after ‘Boys’ the duo fell out on some “silly misunderstanding”.
Anyway, bereft of each other’s company, each of them went about their jobs and reaped success.
They joined hands once again with the superhit ‘Sivaji- The Boss’, and all the five numbers became chartbusters. The first edition of ‘Sivaji’ was sold out in three days after the audio release in South India.
Now, it is time for another superhit from the infallible duo.
