He has sung for Abhishek Bachchan in `Guru' but AR Rahman says he 
isn't convinced about the results:-

AR Rahman started his career with filmmaker Mani Ratnam. The duo is 
back together again with `Guru'. Rahman says, "There is anticipation, 
both good and bad. Mani and I think alike as far as music goes. 
That's how I ended up giving music to `Guru'. We were done with 
composing most of the songs even before he started shooting." 
 
Rahman has used Bappi Lahiri's voice for the first time. "We were 
wondering whom to get to sing `Bolo Guru' and then Gulzar suggested 
Bappida's name. We were not sure if his voice would suit Abhishek. 
However, once we tried him, we liked the results."
 
Interestingly, Rahman thinks another song that he himself has sung 
doesn't suit Abhishek at all.
 
He says, "Every time I sing, I feel my voice doesn't suit the actor. 
Earlier I had such apprehensions when I sang for Shah Rukh Khan 
in `Dil Se'. I had similar apprehensions while singing for Abhishek. 
Even after watching the song 20-30 times, I am still to be convinced. 
In fact, first time I watched it, it almost spooked me. Hope the 
audience doesn't agree with me!"
