Summary
- Director Ram Gopal Varma recalled creative struggles with AR Rahman.
- Rahman reportedly watched TV instead of composing the song in Goa.
- The 'Hai Rama' song from Rangeela is still a beloved classic.
As the film Rangeela gears up for its re-release, director Ram Gopal Varma has unveiled a surprising story behind its famous song, 'Hai Rama.' Varma spoke about the challenging creative process with composer AR Rahman, whose deliberate approach to composing often tested his patience. The director recounted a five-day trip to Goa intended for song development, during which Rahman produced no music, only promising progress later.
Rahman eventually confessed that his lack of progress was due to being preoccupied with watching television during their stay. This admission, while initially frustrating for Varma, ultimately underscored the composer's unique methods. Varma acknowledged that patience is often required for great artistic creations, and the result proved worthwhile.
The song 'Hai Rama,' featured in the 1995 romantic drama, has since become one of AR Rahman's defining works. Its captivating melody and sensual undertones made it a standout within the film's soundtrack and it remains a cherished favorite among audiences.
