Well, well, well, Bollywood lovers! Gather ’round because your favorite movie snoop, Bollywood Newshound Nisha, is back with another spicy scoop from the heart of the film industry! 🎬🍿
Alright, let’s dive into the drama surrounding the much-anticipated flick Indian 2. The maestro behind it, S Shankar, is all set to dazzle us with Kamal Haasan in a pivotal role. But hold your horses, the real buzz is about the musical chairs played with composers. Anirudh Ravichander stepping into the legendary AR Rahman’s shoes? Gasp! 😱 No wonder Rahman fans are in utter shock!
S Shankar Spills the Beans on Composer Switcheroo
In a recent chitchat with the media, Shankar got candid about this eyebrow-raising decision. Picture this: Rahman’s busy tinkering with the background score for 2.0 while Shankar needs snazzy tunes for Indian 2. What’s a director to do? Overburden Rahman? Nah! Enter Anirudh! 🎶
Shankar spilled, "When we started work on Indian 2, AR Rahman was already working on the BGM of 2.0 and I needed the songs soon." Overburdening Rahman wasn’t on his agenda. Instead, he fancied a fresh vibe from Anirudh, whose music was already topping charts. “I didn’t want to overburden him with Indian 2 and I also liked Anirudh’s music. His music was really popular and I thought why not sign him on,” Shankar added.
Now, the debate rages on about what could have been if Rahman had composed for Indian 2. But guess what? Anirudh is already winning hearts with his contributions, from the film’s catchy songs to the captivating trailer. 🎥
Anirudh’s Take on the Musical Baton Pass
During the grand music launch event in Chennai back in June, our new music maestro Anirudh didn’t shy away from addressing the elephant in the room. When quizzed about stepping into Rahman’s larger-than-life shoes, Anirudh channeled his inner Rajinikanth with a cheeky grin and quipped, "After six, comes seven… but who comes after Rahman sir?" Classic! 😆
He graciously added, “I know the expectations are high given how the sequel comes 28 years after the first film. Rahman sir’s music inspires me.” Kudos to Anirudh for acknowledging the giant shadow he’s stepping into.
Meanwhile, apart from the ever-dazzling Kamal Haasan, the movie boasts a celebrity filled cast including Siddharth, Rakul Preet Singh, and SJ Suryah. Mark those calendars, folks! Indian 2 is hitting the big screens on July 12, 2024. Are you ready to see Senapathy in action after nearly three decades? Drop your excitement in the comments below!
Nisha’s Nutshell:
