Thank you Gopal for correcting the wrong info. I am relieved that ARR is doing Ashu's next movie. Once again Yahoo group gives authentic information, as always.....
Regarding all these caustic and bitter opinions and unduly clinical dissection on why ARR and Ashutosh should not work together, I am ALL FOR Ashutosh-ARR duo working together again and again...... Jodha Akbar / Swades / Lagaan music and its treatment on screen was appreciated by me and everybody else I inquired. The RAHMANIA show performed by The Wandering Souls has half a dozen songs with ARR-Ashu combo, equal number of songs with Mani-ARR and quite a few by Raykesh Mehra-ARR combo also. Regarding someone mentioning that this group is for ARR fans, or say RAHMANIACs alone, I agree with that statement totally. For those who are habbitual to voice disappointment, can form another group. This Yahoo group is FOR my GURU AR Rahman and atlest I am not a disciple who would read nonsense about my Guruji or his music.
