The details were posted in the group. I am translating and typing what is mentioned in a hindi newspaper. Sorry if was already posted:
-- Rawat ARR: Before this film, I have composed music for several films based on freedom. To compose the music of "mangal pandey" I researched what type of music was there during 1857, and then I had composed the music for the film. Javed Akhtar: Before this film, I had written the songs for period films like Lagaan, Kisna, etc., but, to write the lyrics of "mangal pandey" I had to search for the songs of one hundred fifty years ago. But I am feeling happy that I wrote the songs of this film. Rani Mukherjee: For the character of Heera, I had to change my body language, and I kept on doing what my director Ketan Mehta kept on telling me. The music of this film is good. I have also danced on its songs, because my role is that of a prostitute in "mangal pandey" This August, Discover the Birth of Your Independence and The Magic of A.R.Rahman's Music in Mangal Pandey - The Rising http://www.risingthefilm.com http://www.mangalpandeythefilm.com Music released: Jul 14, 2005 Movie releases: Aug 12, 2005 Explore, Experience, Enjoy A.R.Rahman - The Man, The Music, The Magic.
