Given the number of music based reality shows on television, one would wonder why someone like AR Rahman would lend his name to one.
But the music maestro, who will seen be in Mission Ustaad on 9X, is quite excited about this show, even though he admits that music reality shows have lost their charm on television. "I agree that music shows aren't what they used to be, but this show will be different because here the singers are not being judged. It's the song and the thought that goes behind the song that's being judged," says Rahman. He shares a good chemistry with the other two judges as well. "I'm the silent one on the show. Javedji is a very learned man and Lara has been associated with UN since long, so she's always bang on target about her facts," he says. Bollywood will get to hear a lot of Rahman in the coming few months, what with three of his Hindi film albums releasing in the next four months or so. http://www.missionustaad.co.in/2007/12/03/i-have-good-chemistry-with-javedji-and-lara-dutta-a-r-rahman/
