Rahman, after the concert, addressed the press
where he said it was his long time dream to perform
in the national capital. When some reporters quizzed
him on the use of north Indian singers for his
Tamil numbers, he said that he chose singers whose
voices he felt would be most appropriate for the
song and had no regional biases as such. Reporters
asked him if he overlooked small budget films,
to which Rahman replied: “I am presently
working on a Tamil film titled Sakkarakatti, which
is a low budget film.” Apparently what interest
him are the story and the passion of the filmmaker
and not the budget of the film. He also expressed
his satisfaction over the response he received
for his composition in Shekar Kapur’s Elizabeth
2: The Golden Age, which is releasing across the
country tomorrow. Rahman’s fans in Delhi
seemed all excited as he rolled out hit after
hit from his Hindi and Tamil films and even enthralled
them with songs from the yet-to-be released Jodha
Akbar. Definitely a concert to remember for Delhiites!
