Agree with Rawat for most of the parts. Directors/producers come and say make a song... ARR spends days/weeks making that song, lyricist gives words, singers come to sing, and then mixing etc (rest of the stuff that is to be done for the song).. after everything is ready, director comes and says we dont need that song anymore; it doesnt fit our story (did you not know this before?). It can get annoying (imagine urself working on some project or assignment for weeks and then getting to know that there was no need to do it) especially for an 'overworked' and busy person (like ARR).
Imagine the time he must have spent for 3 songs of Mani sir's movie.. only if he wasnt asked to do these extra songs and if he had taken some rest, spent time with the family.. or if not, worked on some other project (e.g. Rajiv Menon's project *sighs*). I am amazed and appreciate the humbleness of ARR : "It's not about having done a great song or having worked hard on the music. It's always about what's good for the movie." - in that case directors/producers should know what exactly fits the movie instead of making a person 'overwork' --- In [email protected], V S Rawat <vsra...@...> wrote: > > ARR had said that Mani gave him "minimal" guidelines for developing > any song, just a rough situation, and leaving remaining to ARR to come > up with the song.
