Here's an excerpt I just read in Rediff interview with Aamir related to this topic..
Q: In my last interview with A R Rahman, he said he loves working with you. Aamir: He is one of my favourite composers and has provided fabulous music for Lagaan, Rang De, and Jaane Tu. He never ceases to surprise me. He is one of the few composers, who loves to work closely with the director. He does not just compose the tunes; he stays with the entire score. Q. Is he going to compose the music for Delhi Belly? Aamir: No. When I let someone direct a film for me, I let that person decide everything -- from the cast to the composer. Abhinay wanted Ram Sampath, who is comparatively new. I stay by the director's choice. --- In [email protected], "Chord" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > No disrespect to Mr. Sampath, but that's a huge loss for Dehli Belly's > team. > > > --- In [email protected], $ Pavan Kumar $ <pawancumarr@> > wrote: > > > > > > No..Rahman isn't... > > > > Ram Sampath is the music director... > > > > > > --- On Tue, 7/15/08, Chord <purevibz@> wrote: > > > > From: Chord <purevibz@> > > Subject: [arr] Is ARR scoring for Aamir's next production, "Delhi > Belly"? > > To: [email protected] > > Date: Tuesday, July 15, 2008, 5:03 AM > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Just wondering.
