19th step: A big step for Indian cinema

  • IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,April 21 2009]

It is no news now that Kamal Haasan will be doing a cameo in a film on martial arts. The Ghajini-star Asin will team up with her ‘Dasavatharam’ hero again for this film. Asin plays a princess in the film while Kamal plays her guru in martial arts for the movie. Asin is paired with Japanese superstar Tadanobu Asanno for this flick, which is directed by Bharat Bala.

Mention Bharat Bala, and can AR Rahman be far behind? Schoolmates and dear friends, Rahman’s most popular independent album, Vande Mataram, was directed by Bharat Bala, as was Jana Gana Mana, which featured India’s leading musicians sing or play the national anthem.

AR Rahman will be composing music for ‘19th Step’ as well, and has teamed up with Japanese musician Joe Hisaishi, making the film an interesting musical collaborative venture. The music genius had, in fact, paid an exclusive trip to Japan about two weeks ago, to learn about their music style for this film. Academy Award winning Resul Pookutty will also join hands with Rahman for this ambitious project that will be produced by Walt Disney.
