The song that is rocking the charts right now, Tere
Bina from Guru in Rahmans voice does have a history behind its success. Rahman
in a recent interview revealed that the song was sung by Qadir Khan. As
reported by us earlier, the song in the album was dedicated to music maestro
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. The soulful song, which was, originally of 25 minutes in
the voice of Nusrat was cut short into less than 5 minutes for inclusion in
Guru.
Qadir Khan recreated the voice of Nusrat in the song, which was
recorded for Guru originally. On the other hand Maniratnam had another wish
in other words, command. Mani insisted Rahman to voice Tere Bina, which was
immediately turned down by Rahman stating that he would insult Qadir Khan since
Qadir has done an excellent job himself in that song. Besides, Rahman was
fasting during Ramadan period and doubted that he had enough energy to sing the
high pitch number.
However, Mani remained undaunted on all those hurdles and did not take no for
an answer. Finally, Rahman gave in and rendered his voice for Tere Bina. The
song also has Murtaza and Qadir Khans voices in the midst. Tamil singer
Chinmayi is a part of Tere Bina too.
