Shankar-Rahman reunited!

It is almost certain- A.R.Rahman will be the music director of Shankar�s prestigious project Sivaji with Rajnikanth produced by AVM. At the moment, Shankar and Rahman are in Australia composing songs for their forthcoming blockbuster!

Rahman is right now in Australia for �Qantas Sigaram TV A.R.Rahman 3rd dimension tour 2005�, a music concert. It is a fund raiser for the Kolkotta based �Udayan� whose chief patron is Steve Waugh, the ex-captain of Australian Cricket team who supports the concert tour.

Shankar flew in to Australia on Saturday and is a part of Rahman�s entourage. He had in fact come for the concert on special invitation of Rahman to discuss the tunes of Sivaji. Late in the night, of this 10-day tour, Rahman and Shankar discuss the script and mood of the songs.

A.R.Rahman- Shankar combination is one the best in Indian cinema and they have sold more audio album than any others in Tamil film music. All their albums like, Gentleman, Kathalan, Indian, Jeans, Muthalvan, Nayak (Hindi), Boys were all chartbusters. The only Shankar film without Rahman was the recent Anniyan.

Shankar fell out briefly with Rahman over re-recording of Boys which took months. Now they have patched up, and are totally engrossed in composing five songs and the theme music of Sivaji.

It is turning out to be a dream combination, Rajnikanth- Rahman- Shankar- AVM!
