Ismail Darbar, the cheap publicity monger, has been relentlessly proceeding with his chatter. The recent one was about A.R. Rahman purchasing Oscar Awards.� Well, one shouldn't keep on writing about such a dim-witted goof but again, sometimes it turns out to be irresistible when a person makes an abusive statement against big personalities.

Apparently, his fans in Chennai are thronging to whip him if they spot him anywhere down town. Well, the film personalities have started condemning Ismail for his gesture and Sivamani, the close associate of Rahman says, "It's really funny to hear such things about A.R. Rahman� He has been my friend over the years and I know his potential very well."
