Question: with Sri Shridhar having passed away in late November, how much of the re-recording was done by him, and how much Anoop (or Alok - I don't remember from the opening credits) Dev? I don't think it was completed before Sri Shridhar passed away. I do admit it was unusually loud and a tad annoying at times, very atypical of the Shridhar/Rahman combo. Anyone knows?
