AR Rahman’s message for a safe Deepavali

AR Rahman has acted in a 30-second promo produced by the Tamil Nadu Fire and Rescue Services department to create awareness about celebrating Deepavali safe. We should be careful while bursting crackers and not cause injury to others. This will be the message of the Oscar award winning music composer, whose work is known for creating fireworks among music buffs. Director General of Police (Prisons) R Natraj said, after editing, we produced the DVD format and sent copies to all the districts, from where it will be distributed to channels and theatres. AVM helped us with facilities. The promo was directed by S Valarmathi Priya. Many leading television channels have agreed to telecast the clipping free of cost in view of public safety.

Song on internet is not from Ravan – AR Rahman

Music maestro A R Rahman has said that the song ‘Kaadhale…’, which is making waves in the internet claiming that it is one of the numbers composed by him for Mani Ratnam’s Raavan, is not from the film. Denying the news, Rahman said, someone is pulling a fast one. There is no such song in the film. There were postings on the web that the song was sung by none other than Aishwarya, following which the number managed to get many clicks. With Rahman denying it now, it’s now clear that the former Miss World has not crooned for the song
