Director Mani Ratnam film's Guru is not only making news for its interesting story line but also for its unusual soundrack which is fast catching the imagination of the regular music buff. TIMES NOW correspondent Divya Vaidhyanath spoke to the man behind the notes - the legendary A R Rahman. DV: Mr Rehman, what has been the response for Guru? AR: It's been good. In some places, it has climbed to the number one spot. I have been seeing some clips in the UK too. DV: You have also played a tribute to the great Nusrat Fatah Ali Khan in one of the songs. How did it feel composing and singing that song? AR: While I was composing the songs for Guru, I came across Nustrat Fatah Ali Khan's romantic songs 'Sajna tere bina..' and 'Mast..mast.'I used the lyrics of both the songs and thought it would be befitting to dedicate it to him. DV: You are working with Mani Ratnam and Gulzar after a very long time. What was the chemistry like between the three of you? AR: A film happens. Nobody can make it happen. So, it happened and we were all very excited. In fact, there are two songs which we never really used in the film. But the whole process was really exciting and I am glad that it happened. http://www.timesnow.tv/Rehman_on_his_Guru/articleshow/902430.cms
