Harris Jayaraj, the versatile music director has been churning out his best musical scores with his best friends ‘Jeeva’ and ‘Gowtham Menon’. But unfortunately, Jeeva passed away and Gowtham Menon has parted away from him. Be it his 12B, Dhaam Dhoom or the recent blockbuster ‘Vaaranam Aayiram’, the entire albums have been sold out like hot cakes. Of course, the FM stations keep airing these mesmerizing songs again and again.

But now, Gowtham Menon has parted way from Harris while his forthcoming flicks including ‘Chennaiyil Oru Mazhaikalam’ have A.R .Rahman scoring music. Meanwhile, Late Jeeva’s widowed wife Aneesha has no plans about working with Harris Jayaraj. With her forthcoming ‘Muthirai’ still under production, she has opted from Yuvan Shankar Raja for scoring music.

When asked Aneesha, she says that both Director Sridhar and Yuvan Shankar Raja are close pals and so they are working together….

A.R .Murugadoss has been witnessing non-stop appraisals from all over the world for his latest sensation ‘Ghajini’. Of course, he is peaking high with more laurels than he had for his original version in Tamil. After a week after film’s release, Murugadoss speaks out that his next film would surely be with Aamir Khan.

The filmmaker says, “Aamir is such a brilliant personality and as Bollywood calls him, he is the real perfectionist. As he saw my original version of Ghajini, he had consulted me about making some changes about suiting Hindi audiences. Indeed, it was so trenchant that everyone even in South loved watching the film with a different climax”.

Murugadoss adds that usually it’s so boring for him on remaking his own films. But it was a different experience on ‘Ghajini’. What’s so special was that Surya had given his extraordinary performance while Aamir too brimmed up with his own style.
