I turned composer because of AR Rahman sir: BAFTA Breakthrough talent Karthikeya Murthy- The New Indian Express
]
Navein Darshan By
Express News Service
The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) announced its debut Breakthrough Initiative for India, by selecting 10 promising talents in film, television and gaming last month. Interestingly, the initiative which has Mozart of Madras AR Rahman as its brand ambassador chose only one talent from the field of music: Karthikeya Murthy, who made heads turn with his tunes in Madhumita’s KD (a) Karuppu Durai.
An excited Karthikeya confesses that he didn’t think that he would make it when he applied. “It was director Madhumita and her husband who pushed me to apply for BAFTA Breakthrough. They trusted me more than myself and even supported me with making the showreel I had to submit as a part of the process.”
Life has come full circle for Karthikeya in a way as AR Rahman was one of the judges to pick his band as the winners in the reality show, Ooh La La La, several years back.
“He was extremely kind. He stood up for us when we weren’t selected despite delivering a good performance. He probed into the issue, got it sorted, and finally chose us as the winners.” Karthikeya reveals that he has a long connection with ARR, and says that the Oscar winner is why he became a composer in the first place.
“When I was a kid, my father (the famous musician TK Jayaraman) used to take me to recordings, and show Rahman sir playing keyboard and say, ‘Dhileep (ARR’s old name) epdi vaasikran paaru!’ This was the seed to my musical journey.” Karthikeya shares that the album of Jeans gave him the final push to pursue music as a career. “I was in 9th grade when Jeans was released. I was listening to ‘Hai Rabba’ song for the first time. When the line ‘Anbae enai, nee neenginaal, oru kanam ennuyir thaangaadhu’ came, I got goosebumps because of the composition. I kept asking myself how Rahman could conceive of that experience. I longed for the thrill and excitement of creating such music. It made me a professional musician.”
One might assume that the journey might have been a bed of roses for Karthikeya, considering that his family ancestors have been famous musicians. But this wasn’t the case. “It was actually the opposite,” says Karthikeya, laughing.
“Music isn’t a financially viable career, and my family knows this well. Though my family has been into music for seven generations, they experienced the association as a scar almost, and the wounds got deeper over the years. So, I had to take up a day job to convince them. They started trusting me only after K Balachander sir gave me a chance to work on his show, Oru Koodai Paasam.”
Karthikeya states that composing for films is a different ball game. “I struggled for years to reach the right people for opportunities. I was even chased away by many celebrities’ security guards. I guess all musicians out there must have gone through this phase.”
The composer, who is currently busy with the composition of many web series shows for top OTT platforms, is eagerly awaiting the call from BAFTA.
“I will be travelling to the UK, Where I will be mentored and given global networking opportunities. The organisation is waiting for the severity of the pandemic to subside, so the programme can get started.”
He explains that each of the selected talents will be getting a unique program that is in no way similar to others. “I have the choice to design my programme and mentors. It is designed according to the requirements and goals of the talents.”
Karthikeya hopes to take the music of our land like ‘Kurathi Kummi’ and ‘Santali’ to the international audience if he gets a chance. India has a lot of unexplored folk music. These music forms got restricted geographically. I would also like to employ foreign music in Indian projects and create a cultural bridge. I am hopeful that this networking programme will mark the beginning of that journey.”
He feels that the advancement in technology has reduced the incubation period for talents. “It is a huge blessing. It would have been great had this boom had happened a decade ago, since many of the struggles that musicians like me went through could have been avoided. But better late than never!” he says. “I am happy for the young talents who are today able to fill the internet with their music. In fact, they keep me on my toes.” He adds that keeping oneself updated every day is highly essential now to stay relevant. “I see teenagers exploring new genres and uploading videos on Instagram every day. If a person fails to stay updated, they would get obsolete in no time. The competition is fierce. Indha competition ku edaila erangi six adikradhu dhan success.”

Kate Winslet Net Worth: How The Actress Made Her Fortune?
]
In this piece of information, we will talk about the net worth of Kate Winslet and also try to assimilate how she made her fortune. Kate Winslet-The name itself is enough for people like us who are Titanic stans. When it comes to the most iconic couples in cinematic history, Rose and Jack from ‘Titanic’ top the list, and there is no denying this. Ever since Kate graced the big screens with her stunningly beautiful performance as Rose, she has been ruling hearts. Beautifully scored, written, and produced, the relevance of Titanic remains, 23 years later, and even now, we cannot even imagine anyone else as Jack and Rose other than Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.
Born and raised in Reading, Berkshire Winslet hails from a family of actors, and mainstream media likes to call her one of the preeminent actresses of her generation. Being a phenomenally brilliant actress, she has been renowned with 3 BAFTA Awards, 1 Primetime Emmy Award, and A Grammy award. Not stopping there, she counts 7 Academy Award Nominations in various categories, winning one at the 81st Academy Awards for The Reader(2008). By dint of her skillful acting, she has got Paparazzi and fans curious about her earnings and career gains. If you as well have been pondering about how rich is she, then we got it covered for you. So let’s embark upon the subsequent sections.
Career Highlights
She kicked off her acting career in 1994 with Peter Jackson’s ‘Heavenly Creatures’. At the mere age of 20, Kate became the youngest legatee to win a BAFTA Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award for her role in the film Sense and Sensibility(1995). She enjoyed a huge rise in popularity, helped by her leading role in Titanic(1997), and bagged her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress in a Lead Role. Titanic grossed over $2 billion worldwide against a budget of just $200 million. After this, she worked in many period dramas and portrayed headstrong complicated women on screen.
Kate has been dominating the Film industry since 1994 and is even active now. Some of her phenomenal performances other than Titanic were marked by films such as Hamlet(1996), Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind(2004), The Holiday(2006), and Divergent(2014). Last year Winslet was a part of the romantic drama ‘Ammonite’ and also gave her voice in the film adaptation of the novel Black Beauty. Her upcoming projects include Avatar 2 and the biopic of Lee Miller. In Avatar 2, she will be seen freediving. Kate made it to the headlines for breaking Tom Cruise’s on-film breath-hold record. She did this by holding her breath underwater for seven minutes. Which is one minute more than Tom’s record of 6 minutes.

Another asset that contributes to her net worth is her home in West Sussex. It is now worth more than $4 million. Recently this year, she sold her duplex penthouse in New York City. The deal was sealed at $5.7 million. Back in 2009, her annual salary was reported to be around $2 million. Most of which directly emanated from her advertising contracts. Kate was the brand ambassador of the luxury brands Lancôme and Longines and has even written a book about autism, entitled The Golden Hat: Talking Back to Autism. Besides this, since 1995 her acting roles have contributed over $30 million to her net worth.
Kate Winslet: Personal life
Personal life, or precisely the love life of Kate Winslet, has always grabbed the limelight. After her sizzling onscreen chemistry with fellow actor, Leonardo DiCaprio in 1997’s Titanic and then a few years later again in 2008’s Revolutionary Road, people started linking Kate and Leo. However, in Kate’s wedding to Ned Rocknroll, they both gave the world a strong example of true friendship. Leo walked her down the aisle. Kate has been wedded thrice. In 1998 she was officially married to Jim Threapleton for 3 years before parting ways. Then she married director Sam Mendes in 2003. Unforfotrunatley, things didn’t work out for the couple, and separated in 2010. Kate was really heartbroken until she met Ned Rocknroll. After being together for over a year, the two tied knots in 2012.
