Look! Who was in town
By Subhash K Jha Posted On Thursday, April 16, 2009 at 02:18:49 AM AR Rahman Ever since his spectacular win at the Oscar's, ace music composer AR Rahman has been shying away from the public glare and had gone into a self-imposed hibernation in Chennai. Rahman's sabbatical has come to an end now, with him getting back to composing music in a big way. All of last week he was engaged in music sessions with director Abbas Tyrewala for his next film 1-800-Love. Rahman not only managed to complete the entire score for Blue, which had been pending for quite some time now, but also sneaked out of Chennai to Delhi on Monday afternoon to visit the Hazrat Nizamuddin Dargah. He then flew to Mumbai yesterday to record a song for Tyrewala's 1-800-Love. With that taken care of, he headed for a long delayed trip to the US. 1-800-Love producer Madhu Mantena said, "Abbas wanted the music of our film to take off before Rahman took off. So he specially requested him to fly to the US via Mumbai." The song sung by Adnan Sami was recorded in utmost secrecy so that Rahman could be out of Mumbai and the country, even before the city woke up to his presence. http://www.mumbaimirror.com/article/30/2009041620090416021848783be80597c/Look-Who-was-in-town.html
