Mumbai: Although international biggies are queuing up to work with the
Maestro from Madras, AR Rahman, but our desi actors are yet to realise
his genius as they carelessly put aside opportunities to share the
stage with him. And one such airy star is Farhan Akhtar, who turned
down a personal invitation from the Oscar winning musician to sing a
track for ‘Blue’.So, while most artists would do anything for a chance to work with Rahman, Farhan chose to decline the offer as the actor wants to sing only for films that feature him. According to the latest Bollywood news, Rahman was much too eager for Farhan to sing for a track named ‘Fiqrana’ in ‘Blue’. So much so was the musician looking forward to Farhan singing that he had even composed the track keeping in mind Farhan’s range and style.. But the actor gave Rahman a rude shock when he decided to state a firm ‘no’. Disappointed by the actor’s attitude Rahman then asked Vijay Prakash of ‘Yuvvraj’ and ‘Swades’ fame to sing the track. Confirming the news, ‘Blue’ director Tony D`Souza said, "We were very keen to have Farhan sing for us. But he couldn`t. So we got Vijay Prakash for ‘Fiqrana’”. http://spicezee.zeenews.com/articles/story40402.htm ________________________________
