Rahman is usually very diplomatic when it comes to sharing his opinion and his cinematic sensibilities. In the recently released book The Spirit of Music by Nasreen Munni Kabir, he says it all, no-holds-barred. We learn that the kind of films that AR wishes to work in are experimental, the cinema that directors like Mani Ratnam make. In the book Rahman tells Kabir that “Mani Ratnam won’t think twice before experimenting. He always tries something new. That’s a great quality. One may fail in the process, but not fearing failure is what makes you try out new things. Shankar can’t do that because he has achieved an almost perfect success rate and can’t fool around with that. Unfortunately, I think Shankar is trapped by his own success.” This may be the boldest statement made to the public by Rahman; kudos to Kabir for getting him to talk without his usual reticent political correctness. The book gives ARR fans a deeper look into the world and, more importantly, into the mind of a musical genius. Have you read it yet?

Anushka Shetty is too busy with her career to get angry at rumour hawks. She was at a press conference in Bengaluru recently, where a scribe tossed up that million dollar question: “Are you going to marry Naga Chaitanya?” An unflinching Anushka smiled and dipped her answer in sarcasm: “Leave along being engaged to Naga Chaitanya, you (the journalists) have married me off to even his father Nagarjuna with whom I have acted in many films. I have been married off to many Telugu heroes already. I would not like to react to such unsubstantiated news items. I would better ignore them as they are all part of the professional hazard I have to face as an actress.” Born in Mangalore and brought up in Bengaluru, this Bunt hudugi has made it big in Tamil and Telugu films but is yet to appear in a Kannada movie. When asked about this, Anushka gave a cliched answer: “If a good script is offered to me, I am (game) for doing a Kannada film.” Are the Kannada film producers listening?

Lauren Conrad and her boyfriend of three years have called it quits. What do YOU think went wrong?

Almost as quietly as it began, Lauren Conrad and actor Kyle Howard have ended their three year relationship, reports E! News.

“Sources close to the now ex-duo confirm that the breakup was a mutual decision and that no third parties were involved,” they report.

One of the biggest reasons Lauren, 24, quit starring on MTV’s hit reality show, The Hills, was so she could maintain her personal life — especially a relationship — without cameras around 24/7. In fact, Lauren and 33-year-old Kyle’s romance was thought to be going so swimmingly, they were rumored to be engaged earlier this year!

It is indeed refreshing to see that Leela Samson, the recently appointed Chair of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), popularly known as the Censor Board, is looking at new methods of film classification. Now, there was a furore in the film world when Samson was appointed, as she is best known for being a dancer and therefore not a film person. What many people don’t know is that several prominent film people were offered the job, but they all declined the poisoned chalice/hot potato, call it what you will. Now, these same people are turning around and saying that Samson is not qualified. You know what? All those naysayers can just put it where the monkey puts the nuts. If they didn’t have the guts to take the job, they have no right to complain. But complain they will, because that is the nature of us Indians, filmi or not. Read More..............
