A song Rahman wanted to sing

We all know that AR Rahman is the most sought after music director in our country and more than that he’s often accused of keeping the best song in the film album for himself...


Whether its Khalbali in Rang De Basanti, Khawaja in Jodhaa Akbar, Tere Bina in Guru and Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na title track.
Laughs AR Rahman, "Actually that’s not true at all...Usually it is the producers or the filmmakers who insist that I should sing. In the case of Jaane Tu..Ya Jaane Na, it was the other way round.
I was very keen to sing the title track as it had a jazz ring to it and Abbas was not very keen to use a male voice.
I had to really convince him to let me sing the song. Thankfully it’s come out really well and now Abbas is very happy with the song.”
Jaane Tu..Ya Jaane Na marks the debut of Aamir Khan’s nephew and will have South Indian actress Genelia playing the female lead.
Aamir has gone all out to promote the film and has personally sat through the scripting and music sessions with Rahman.
With both Rahman and Aamir being perfectionists, this is one film to look forward to.
