A. R. Rahman walked out of the film. He did not walk out of the film but he could not spend time on the film. He could not give us time, and we could not wait any longer and had to make a choice. So, we looked around and since we also had a Hindi film in mind, we went to Himesh Reshammiya. It was just a business choice and when you see the film, you will know that it works for us. I must say that Himesh did surprise me in the first music sitting itself.
You have signed Hema Malini for your next film. Tell us more about the film. Yes, I have signed her for the film. All I can say right now is that it's a period film set in the 7th century. It will be a bi-lingual in Hindi and Tamil and I am writing the entire script in Tamil and Atul Tiwari is writing it in Hindi. Rahman will score the music. http://www.mumbaimirror.com/net/mmpaper.aspx? page=article§id=30&contentid=2008032820080328022706233edca6322
