The music for the stage production of 'Lord of the Rings' is quite different from Tamil film songs. According to its composer A R Rehman, Canadian fans seem to like it immensely. Rehman has fans all over the world but his Hong Kong fans are rather special. Maybe that's the reason he has composed music for yet another Chinese film.
"I have been listening to Chinese music for the past 15 years. It's really beautiful." Rehman has composed music for 'Between Heaven and Earth.' In Tamil, the music for 'Jillendru Oru Kaadhal' and 'Sivaji' are his only latest, because 'Godfather' music is already old hat by now.
Compared to Tamil, the Hindi scene seems to be much better. He is composing music for 'London Dreams' directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, 'Jodha Akbar' and for 'Guru' directed by Mani Ratnam featuring Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai. There are also discussions about composing music for some other films.
After the isai puyal's re-mix in 'New,' many other re-mix songs have been released in Tamil. As the person who started the re-mix trend here, he was asked if re-mixing was right or wrong and his stand was half way.
"There's nothing wrong in re-mixing old songs, but one should see to it that the soul of the original song is not lost."
If there was soul, this question would not have been necessary!
