However since Rahman had made 10 tracks for us which were nice romantic
numbers I decided to retain them in this film.
So looks like these tracks were composed almost 7 years back. But i am sure
all of them would be real gems.

Click
above for more stillsEarlier this week, Nokia in association with Big
Music came up with an innovative way to promote the music of director Tanvir
Ahmed's forthcoming film *Ada-a way of life*. The film's music has been
composed by music maestro A.R. Rahman and die-hard Rahman fans not just have
a chance to enjoy his music but also play around with it.
Yes, you heard it right for the first time ever Nokia along with Big Music
and A.R. Rahman gives listeners a chance to remix two tracks from this film.
The winner of this contest (who will be chosen by the music legend himself)
gets a chance to spend one day with him and remix two of the songs of *Ada
* in Rahman's studio.
*Bollywood Hungama* spoke to producer-director Tanvir Ahmed, who seemed
pretty excited by this unique concept, Big Music has the music rights of my
film *Ada-a way of life*. Rahman has composed some wonderful tunes and
through Nokia's newly launched Xpress Music mixer application, listeners
have a chance to remix two of Rahman's songs from the soundtrack of the
film. It's a very unique and innovative concept
We also decided to get some more details on the film and its cast, *Ada-
a way of life* is a film which has many different layers. It's a love
story with a social, spiritual, family and crime angle to it. The cast
comprises of debutant actor Ayaan Ahmed and Nauheed Cyrusi who play the
romantic lead. Apart from them we have Rahul Roy and Ayesha Jhulka who play
the role of the parents and there is also Saurabh Dubey who plays the
antagonist, said Tanvir
We also quizzed the director on the status of the film. Well the film is
complete, the post-production is currently going on now. As for the music,
we had a formal launch at the Nokia event yesterday but the music should be
in stores by May 6. The film would release after two months. Said the
director
For those who came in late, we at *Bollywood Hungama* had earlier reported
of director Tanvir Ahmed's plans of making a film titled *Ada* which was
to star Big B and Dilip Kumar in the year 2001. So we decided to get the
facts straight from the director if this is the same project or a different
one considering the title is one and the same, Yes I had decided to make a
film called *Ada* long time back We had decided to make it on a grand
scale with some big names and Rahman had composed the music for us after *
Lagaan*. Mr. Jhamu Sugandh was supposed to produce the film but things
didn't work out and the project didn't take off due to certain reasons. Now
my film *Ada- a way of life* only has the same title but it is a
completely fresh and different story which is more relevant in today's
times. However since Rahman had made 10 tracks for us which were nice
romantic numbers I decided to retain them in this film.
Incidentally, debutant Ayaan Ahmed happens to be director Tanvir Ahmed's
son, so is this, like a launch for him, Nothing of that sort. It's just
that I was finding a new hero for this fresh love story and he suited the
character aptly. He has been able to carry off the role well and I am
happy, signs off Tanvir Ahmed.
