Jagjit Singh, earlier this week, criticized AR Rahman for not using
Ghazals in his films, saying, "What does AR Rahman know about Ghazals?"
The noted singer has now said that he doesn't, in any way, want to
criticize Rahman's music. In an interview with a local newspaper, he
said, "Actually, what I meant was Rahman, being an innovative
award-winning composer who connects with today's Gen-Next, should also
include ghazals written by stalwarts like Gulzar in his film repertoire.
He also feels that Rahman has, of late, been restricting himself to
certain genres. "Of late, he has been confining himself to jazzy and
folksy-fusion Indipop. Since he is versatile enough, he should be able
to come up with fabulous ghazals and popularize them."
