AR Rahman and Gulzar will collaborate on the music of Sandeep Singh's Subrata Roy biopic. The film on the Sahara India founder was announced earlier this year.
AR Rahman and Gulzar have created several hits songs together, including Chaiyya Chaiyya, Jai Ho, Jiya Jale, Mayya Mayya and many others.
Speaking about their new collab, AR Rahman said, "Gulzar Saab's soulful lyrics are extremely inspiring for a musician and I hope I can do justice to the lyrics and the story. I am looking forward to this collaboration."
Gulzar shared, "It will be wonderful to collaborate with Rahman again. Subrata Roy's life is enigmatic and inspiring. Rahman is a wonderful artist and musician and I look forward to this collaboration."
Producer Sandeep Singh said, "It gives me unbelievable joy to bring these legends of lyrics and music together for a project that is extremely close to my heart. I have been an ardent admirer of the work of AR Rahman ji and Gulzar Saab. Their contribution to the cinema cannot be measured and I am humbled that they are a part of my project. Subrata Roy Sir's life is a tremendous story of grit, determination, and success and it needs the support of these two geniuses to realise this dream on 70 mm. I am humbled and overwhelmed."
The title and cast of the biopic are expected to be announced soon.
