Guys, Please ignore if someone has already posted this in here.
THis would remain a mystery unless ARR himself clarifies what happened in reality. I read in Mid Day a few days ago that Farhan wanted to sing only for himself...i.e. for his screen and not for others. See the mid day extract below... http://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/2009/sep/080909-Bollywood-Farhan-Akhtar-A-R-Rahman-song-Blue.htm?zcc=rl Farhan refuses A R Rahman, because he wants to sing only for films that feature him Farhan Akhtar said a regretful no to A R Rahman for an offer to sing in Blue for Zayed Khan. Rahman had earlier offered to have Himesh sing for him. Now the song composed for Farhan has been sung by Vijay Prakash (the singer who has done the playback for Quickgun Murugun). Vijay also sang for Rahman in Yuvvraj and Swades. The matter was more or less confirmed when after a longish silence, Farhan said a reluctant no to the song that Rahman wanted Akhtar to sing for Blue. The song entitled Fiqrana was composed keeping in mind Farhan's range and style of singing. And Rahman had personally requested Farhan to do the song. Though Farhan remained unavailable for comment, it is understood that he begged off because he wants his singing voice to be identified only with his own screen persona. Says Blue director Tony D'Souza, "We were very keen to have Farhan sing for us. But he couldn't. So we got Vijay Prakash for Fiqrana. Fact: It was Himesh Reshammiya who first decided that he'd sing on screen only for himself. --- On Thu, 24/9/09, Rivjot <riv...@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Rivjot <riv...@yahoo.com> Subject: [arr] Re: Farhan's Song is Deleted from Blue ?

Most likely it didnt get recorded because of Farhan's time issues. EVEN if the song somehow got recorded, since it is not included I would just want to 'assume' that it didnt get recorded as once its confirmed that it was actually recorded but not included everyone is gonna feel - ahhh I wish it was included; I want to hear it now etc etc --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, "A.R.Rajib" <a.r.ra...@...> wrote: > > Yes , I was also surpirsed seeing this Reply from Farhan himself on his > Facebook fanpage > http://www.facebook.com/arhanakhtar.fanpage?ref=nf > > <http://www.facebook.com/arhanakhtar.fanpage?ref=nf>At first he Replied To > someone else As he was answering every fans question on his fan page > > He said *" I was to sing a song in Blue but the script changed and the song > was not needed anymore.
