A.R Rahman is surely the hot thing in Bollywood now. A couple of days ago, it was buzzed that noted band ‘Kailasa’ has invited Rahman to croon out for them. Now, news is ripe that two of bollywood’s eminent music directors are eyeing on Rahman to hum for them as well.
It is nothing unobvious for a music director to sing for other musicians. Earlier composers like M.S. Viswanathan and Shankar had crooned for others. However, of late, this trend had taken a backseat in Bollywood owing to ego clashes between the musical big shots.
Lately, Rahman’s songs have caught all his Bollywood fans in frenzy. His fine singing act in ‘Guru’, ‘Swades’, ‘Lagaan’ and ‘Dil Se’ has left his fans craving for more.
Buzz is that Himesh Reshammiya, who has sworn to sing only for A.R Rahman other than his own compositions, has expressed his desire to rope in Rahman to croon for him. Close at heels is Adnan Sami who too has placed a similar offer in front of him.
Commenting on the offers Rahman said, “It’s extremely kind of them to think of me, but I can’t just sing like that. When I render a track, I cut myself off from other things. Even for a concert, a couple of days before it I don’t pursue my other music stuff, but just concentrate on the singing.”
Further Rahman added that he hasn’t turned down the offers but will be free to consider them only after he winds up with his present project.
So does that imply a no from the musician? Well, that’s only for him to tell!
