Sans any apprehensions about their nomination for Best Music Director for Dostana , a confident Vishal Dadlani said, "There are no butterfly moments in stomach as such. We are not thinking much about it." Is it just due to the fact that the competition stands pretty close with A R Rahman being nominated for three films including Jodha Akbar, Jaane Tu... and Ghajini ? "It's not about hoping for an award for ourselves. I know Rahman will win and he has to," asserts Vishal. Impressed by Rahman's international glory, Vishal clearly declares him as the ultimate winner. "Thumbs up to Rahman, he is the best man of all. He just brought two Oscars to India. He has taken India to the international platform and by all counts, he deserves this award." Though Rahman's Oscar success might be attributed to the Hollywood venture yet it's his music in totality that speaks for him. Vishal clarifies, "It doesn't make a difference that he got Oscars for Slumdog Millionaire... and in Filmfare, he's been nominated for other films. You have to see Rahman's body of work to realize that he truly deserves this Filmfare award." http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Lifestyle/Specials/Rahman-must- win-at-Filmfare-Vishal-Dadlani/articleshow/4205292.cms
