Trained by her sister Muqhtar Begum and the Patiala ustad Ashiq Ali Khan , Khanum returned to the stage after years of silence and she took listeners once again by storm . At every significant stage in my life , including my marriage , she has been present to bless me . Aruna Sairam , long known for her reverberant abhang singing as tailpieces in Carnatic music concerts , will present a full length abhang recital with a complete orchestra of accompanists from Maharashtra and Chennai . Everything depends on the strength and the length of the strings you can pull . I travelled the length and breath of Karnataka scouting for locales . And the length has been cut drastically , down from Aziz Mian 's 115-minute long qawwali , Hashr ke Roz and a couple of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan 's more than hour-long works to a mere six minutes as in Corporate , or less than five minutes as in Ahista Ahista . Mani Ratnam 's Guru , to be released in December , steps back by a few decades and traces the life of an industrialist ( Abhishek ) and a media baron ( Mithun Chakraborty ) . " out of the way and " Jaan-e-man " wrapped up , he is busy producing " Homeland " that is being directed by Ashok Pandit . The mood changes . Over the years , Akshay has managed to retain the exuberance of " Khiladi " , which announced his arrival on the big stage , but at the same time , could diversify into different shades , with films like " Sangharsh " , " Dhadkan " , " Waqt " and " Hera Pheri " with box office success . " Incidentally , " Homeland " is the story of Kashmiri Pandits in refugee camps in Jammu . I am at that stage of life when I do n't have to prove anything to anybody . He floored the music director by presenting him with a length of bamboo with holes .
