Radharavi takes on A R Rahman

A.R. Rehman Music wizard A.R. Rehman's huge number of fans must be nursing a small grievance: when film industry fraternity in other States organize functions and events to honour Rahman on winning the Oscar award, Kollywood has so far not hosted any programme to congratulate Rehman. Radharavi, Secretary of the Nadigar Sangam (South Indian Cine Artistes' Association - SICAA), begs to differ on the issue and tells us the background.

"It was Nadigar Sangam which first brought up the idea of hosting a function to congratulate Oscar-winning Rehman. It was decided to host the function in close cooperation with the Tamil Film Producers' Council. Rahman was formally approached immediately on his return from U.S. to allot a date for holding the function" says Radharavi and adds that till date, Rehman hasn't given any dates for the function to be held.

Radharavi. "When he has the time to go to all the neighbouring States to attend the felicitation functions, how come he is unable to allot a few hours for us to hold the event? He is not even replying to our phone calls. I condemn it strongly in strictest terms," says Radharavi.

Rehman is the best person to given an answer, isn't it?

I guess the recognitions have gone to his head. One should not forget the path that one has travelled to reach here & the people who have helped along the way. Rahman seems to feel that he is too big for Tamil cinema! Bollocks!!

Radha Ravi is a plain stupid, cheap fellow. He can not dictate terms to Rehman. No wonder Rehman does not respond to his organisation invitation. Radha Ravi is not fit to officiate any organisation.

Radha Ravi has no rights to comment on A.R.Rahman.. Radha ravi should keep his mouth shut.. this in not politics.. The way Radha rav had led this issue is wrong, he should have met A.R.Rahman in his home.

Why does Nadigar Sangam have to partner with Producer council to honor our genius. If they don't have money to organize this few hr function by themselves they should just sit and watch, instead they try all gimmics to garner attention and support out of rahman's fame. And don't we know how close the producers council is with Nadigar sangam - bunch of loafers trying to degrade our national hero

I think the sense of victory has done too much into the head of Rahman. Always feeling self-proud and arrogant is not good however high you go in life. He should not fool the people by saying 'All glory to God' but in reality behaving arrogantly. AR, would you please change?

Offcourse Rehman has his choice to consider the felicitation. It is surpising that he could not afford to courteously respect his filmy collegue's honours. Radha Ravi has nothing to condemn, but has his rights to share regrets.
