Without any experience in politics, elections of even administtration at the smallest level, NTR set about to campaigning. He launched a whirl-wind tour of the state. His theme of the campaign was that "If the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh couldn't get audience with Delhi, How could a commoner get to make his voice heard?".

With a victory in the immediate election, NTR formed government and ruled the state of Andhra Pradesh for a full term, He went into the elections with the slogan Telugu vari Atma ankarao Gouravam which meant "Telugu people's self-respect".

LATER LIFE:

Regarding her future projects, Hema said," Ive signed one or two (films), which are held up because of the financial problems in the whole world. Otherwise I would have finished those two and they would have released by now."

"One is with Nana Patekar which Deepa Sahi is directing, and the other is wich another producer. It is not right to expose everything about a film," she said.

TIME Names A.R.Rahman Among 100 Most Influential People in the World.

TIME Magazine has named Oscar winning music maestro A.R.Rahman as one of the 100 most influential people in the world under the category of Artistes and Entertainers. The list is published in the May 11 th edition of the magazine. A.R.Rahman will perform at a dinner hosted by president obama for those named in the list later this week.

In India, a country of a billion inhabitants, where film and pop music are one, A.R.Rahman, 43, dominates the music industry so totally that he has supplied the sound track for a whole generation. He enjoys the godlike devotion of India's youth, but everyone from the street child who sweeps train platforms to the middle-aged doctor in Mumbai's posh Malabar Hill hums his tunes.

Born in Chennai (formerly Madras) and raised on Tamil movies and music, Rahman converted to Sufism - a mystical form of Islam - in the late 1980s. It is easy to hear these influences in his work, but his genius lies in tying many forms of music together to make a sound that is at once familiar and new. He first gained widespread notice for Mani Ratnam's Tamil film Roja (1992), then branched out into Hindi films and has succeeded in making Indian film music a global phenomenon. He has worked with Andrew Lloyd Webber and with Shekhar Kapur on Elizabeth and has influenced other gifted directors like Baz Luhrmann. This year he won two Oscars, a Golden Globe and a BAFTA for giving Slumdog Millionaire its frenetic sound.

Rahman is a shy and quiet man, but his music has emotional force. Renowned for his immense range, he'll do a traditional score for a conventional film, then blend exotic vocals with Japanese music and Western classical arrangements in his next project. A veritable Pied Piper, he has no competition, yet he makes it a priority to discover new talent and promote it. He has shaped modern India's music for more than a decade. Now the "Mozart of Madras" has the world's foot tapping along with him.
