Says Rahman, “Any music that I lay my hands on, I first rip it apart on my 
computer. I repeatedly listen to a new album because I wish to grab all the 
finer nuances of it.’’ He’s thrilled that his latest album is on a memory chip. 
“This is fantastic. What one must ensure is that the sound is of the highest

Wow - I hope the sound aspect is taken care of.

Akshay Kumar has done 120 films - but it is the
first time that Academy Award winner A R Rahman has composed music for a film of
his. It is Anthony D’Souza’s debut vehicle, and he gets to start
with the music supremo. 

It is also Rahman’s first album after
his two Oscars for Slumdog Millionaire. And, it is the first time that Bollywood
music is being launched on pen drives and memory chips. 
Quite naturally -
Dr Rahman and Dr Akshay (both PhDs) are in a celebratory mode. Says Rahman,
“Any music that I lay my hands on, I first rip it apart on my computer. I
repeatedly listen to a new album because I wish to grab all the finer nuances of
it.’’ He’s thrilled that his latest album is on a memory chip.
“This is fantastic. What one must ensure is that the sound is of the
highest quality.’’ Akshay jokes, “After the pen drive,
we’ll perhaps have the music album in an injection form. All you need to
do is to prick the needle and you’ll break into
song.’’ 

Rahman, who hasn’t interacted closely with
Akshay, smiles and says, “My first memory of Akshay is his grooving to Tu
Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast with Raveena Tandon in Mohra. The year was 1994 and I
had just completed the music of Rangeela.’’ Akshay adds, “And
my all-time favourite Rahman album is Roja. I listened to it continuously for
two months when I was shooting a film in Shimla. And though the music had a
soulful feel, I would still exercise only to that
track.’’ 

Incidentally Blue may well be one of the last
films Rahman does this season because of his international commitments.
Admitting this, the composer says, “I love all filmmakers but there is
only that much work I can do. I have taken on a couple of major assignments
overseas and I’m also committed to building my music school. I wanted to
do something different hence I chose to associate with Tony’s
Blue.’’ Rahman also adds that though the film has a completely
international feel, his music is a combination of Indian sounds as well.
“It has some folk and Punjabi tunes also,’’ he reveals.
That’s when Punjab da munda Akki butts in to ask, “Why Punjabi, Sir?
Is it because I’m in the film?’’ “No,’’
replies Rahman, “it’s because I love Punjabi music, it has very
robust sounds, a very alive quality that I find
attractive.’’
