Shriya goes ga-ga on 'Sivaji' audio

Shriya Saran cannot stopping talking about the songs in Sivaji. Says Shriya, who was shooting a song with Vijay in Karaikudi for Azhagiya Tamil Magan (ATM): “I’m a big Rahman fan, and when I heard the Sivaji songs for the first time at the shoot I just went crazy about them. Believe me, the way Shankar Sir has shot the songs, along with Rajni Sir’s dance movements, they are sure to be rocking.”

Shriya says that one of the high points of her career will be that she danced with the superstar to the tune of A.R Rahman whom she calls “the Mozart of Indian film music”. She features in five out of the six songs in the film. Says Shriya: “I’m there in all the songs, except Ballelika…., the introductory song.”

When asked about her favourite song in the album, Shriya says: “I like all the songs and the way they are picturised. I’m sure that the songs will become bigger once the film releases and the channels popularize them. If you were to ask me my favourite song it is Vaaji, Vaaji, , the title song.” Shriya refused to talk further on the songs, as she feels the film and its presentation will talk for itself.

Ever since the shoot, she has been humming the Sivaji songs. Now that the album is out, she has all the songs on her ipod, and hears it during the breaks

Munna - Power-packed

Prabhas’ career is at a very interesting stage. He is certainly a star in the making. He has all the ingredients and the wherewithal to go right to the top.
But from time to time, Prabhas makes some wrong choices and his rising graph hits a plateau. But of late, Prabhas has shown the happy tendency to choose the right script.

Yogi was a powerful film with his character being one of the most memorable one. The mother-son sentiment and the extraordinary action sequences saw Yogi through.

In Munna, Prabhas is on a different kind of platform which is, however, equally strong. Produced by the hot shot producer Dil Raju, Munna will be a powerful flick with all the right masala ingredients. Prabhas does not want to talk of the story as yet. But he says this commercial extravaganza has enough surprises to keep the audiences engrossed.

With a newcomer director Vamsi Paidipalli, the film will obviously have some novelty as the director is fresh with ideas and innovations.

The new director, a soft-spoken man, says there are enough things to keep everyone interested. More than the story it is how we have told them is important, he says laying importance on the script.

Ileana, the lissome girl, is the heroine. Having done enough masalas, she knows a thing or two about such a genre.

Prabhas has taken special care to look the part of the role. His looks would be a special attraction, says the director.

Another attraction would be the music of Harris Jeyaraj. In Tamil, he is being rated as high as A R Rehman. His songs have a rare mix of rhythm and lilt. He has given us some memorable numbers, says the director.

Producer Dil Raju is sparing expense to make the film a grand one. I am happy to have got a producer like him for my first film itself, says the happy director.

Shriya is doing a special song in this film Now that would be another big attraction..

After the memorable success of movies like Dil, Arya, Bunny, Bommarillu, Dil Raju seems to be set for a record five-in-a-row.

The film will release in March end.

Cast: Prabhas, Ileana

Music: Harris Jeyaraj

Producer: Dil Raju

Direction: Vamsi Paidipalli
