MJ & AR Rahman: Unreleased 'Enthiran' Song Revealed!
28 Sep
Summary
- Michael Jackson and AR Rahman planned a song for Rajinikanth's 'Enthiran'.
- The collaboration was designed but couldn't be completed due to Jackson's death.
- Britney Spears was also considered for Ram Charan's 'Game Changer' soundtrack.
A planned musical collaboration between global icon Michael Jackson and Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman for Rajinikanth's blockbuster film 'Enthiran' has come to light. Composer S Thaman disclosed that Rahman and Jackson met and designed a song intended for the 2009 science-fiction epic, directed by S Shankar. Tragically, the project was halted following Michael Jackson's death on June 25, 2009, just months before 'Enthiran' premiered in October that year.
Further revelations from Thaman suggest another significant international music partnership was considered for the upcoming film 'Game Changer', starring Ram Charan. The makers had explored the possibility of involving pop superstar Britney Spears in a dance number titled 'Dope'. These discussions, however, did not materialize due to production delays impacting the film's release schedule.
Looking ahead, S Thaman also indicated ongoing discussions for a new international collaboration, having spoken with rapper Hanumankind. Details regarding the specific project or track remain undisclosed, with Thaman expressing anticipation for the opportune moment to proceed. The composer's recent works include music for Jason Sanjay's 'Sigma' and Pawan Kalyan's 'OG'.
