Thanks for all those who responded, every bit helps. I apologize for not being able to respond personally to everyone. If there are more ideas, keep them coming.
Thanks,
Gopal.

wow!!:) this really is something dreamy, inspite of gopal's warnings
to not get all excited.
We should do something really different and try out what has not
been ever done before! Having said that, here are ideas that Im sure
have been tried before, and many times:) :
- Premier theatres (multiplexes) can be selected for publicity
through movie beginning spots (trailers) --- a prelude to ARR.
- Radio jingles advertising his music.
- Short movies, documentary kinds about his music, musical history,
future, scope, influences, well that kind of thing, his interviews.
I would love to buy something like that!
- A website with his complete musical reportaire, giving the option
to select music and create our own album and buy it. i think hmv has
a feature like that.
- cassettes with booklets offering more information than just lyrics
and summary of all people involved. u know, each cassette/cd can be
used to advertise more cassettes/cds. (especially new stuff, or rare
stuff or stuff that rahman would like ppl to listen)
- pricing moderate, naturally, but for some special releases should
not refrain from charging big. like a special photographs coffee
table book.
- possibly tie up with some coffee shops, or cool places(!!!), for
some information kiosk, which can be used to promote rahman's music,
etc. especially so, some days before the release of anything.
- probably print rahman's music's musical sheet notations, for
musicians to read and recreate.
- find a way to sell rahman's tamil music north of south india!!!
hope this helps:) enjoyed thinking about this!!!!
