It's Rahman versus Pritam once again!

The music industry, which was off late going through a slump, has reasons to smile. The first half of the year, which saw just JODHAA AKBAR, RACE and JANNAT generating good audio sales, already has three brisk sellers. And that just in the first month of the second half itself!


It may be called a coincidence of sorts that it was A.R.Rahman who gave the music industry an elixir with JODHAA AKBAR. He was later displaced by Pritam with RACE and finally JANNAT. Just like the beginning of the year, it's A.R.Rahman who has once again scorched the charts this time around too with his JAANE TU...YA JAANE NA, which is sitting comfortably at the top, and for a few weeks now. And once again it's Pritam (like with RACE and JANNAT) who is challenging Rahman for the pole position with his SINGH IS KINNG!

However, unlike the previous occasion, this time around a third player has come into the fray, in the form of iconoclastic composers, Vishal and Shekhar, whose BACHNA AE HASEENO is giving hot pursuit to the above two albums.

Well, it will be interesting to see who emerges the winner, this time around.

Aamir reveals his new look

We all know that Aamir Khan is sporting a new look for his upcoming film Ghajini and he finally revealed his new crew cut look at the premiere of ‘Race’ last night. Making his first public appearance with his new look, he says “This is how it’s gonna look and I’m going to keep it like this till the end of the film.” He also rubbishes the rumours that he is going bald for the role. “No, this is what I’m going to look after the second part of the film. The character, I’m playing in the film suffers head injuries and you can see some prominent spots in my head,” he reveals. Aamir was very nervous initially when hairstylist Avan Contractor was about to work on him. His wife Kiran Rao, close friend and lyricist Prasun Joshi, designer Arjun Bhasin and director A R Murugados were present at Aamir residence at the time of his hair cut. It is believed that Kiran and Prasoon constantly joked about Aamir going bald which made him all the more nervous. The entire process took one-and a half hour.


Aamir said, “Ghajini is an action thriller and this look is an important dimension to the character I’m playing. I’m very happy with the way it has turned out.” He was so happy with his cut that they had an impromptu dinner party to celebrate the new look. Known to be a thorough professional, Aamir and Avan spent weeks trying to work out this look.

Aamir is known to experiment a lot with his looks in different films. In Mangal Pandey he had long hair and a moustache. In Dil Chahta hai, he sported a never seen before young look with small hair and a tiny beard. Even in Lagaan he was playing a farmer in brown jacket, a turban and a dhoti. And how does his wife Kiran finds out “Isn’t he looking hot,” smiles a beaming Kiran.
