Tirumala Tirupati to call Rahman



Possibly it must be the first time ever, if this happens. Of course music can cross borders and this initiative shows that in front of the supreme power all are equal and there are no differences like cast, religion, race and language.
The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD), the trust that administers the temple on the Tirumala Hills, has planned to rope in A R Rahman. You might wonder as why will the Devasthanam should call Rahman? The answer is simple - They would like the Oscar winner to compose Keertans for the traditional religious hymns.
Sources say that Rahman will be approached by the Devasthanam board members to compose music for the songs penned by Telugu cum Sanskrit poet Tallapaka Annamacharya, who belong to the 14th century, praising Lord Venkateswara. “Hope Rahman would be lending his services for the Devasthanam,” said an official. It’s worthy to mention that the musician was once a typical Hindu.
Though the musician had done a lot of special albums, this one must be something very special, we say!
