Enter Rahman exit Pritam

After composing chartbusting scores in Imtiaz Ali’s Jab We Met and Love Aaj Kal one would think music composer Pritam Chakraborty is an integral and indispensable part of Imtiaz’s cinema. Surprisingly, that’s not the case any longer, at least not as far as Imtiaz’s next film, Rock Star is concerned.

The emotional composer tried to hide his hurt as well as he could and said, “I haven’t been approached for Rock Star. I’ve heard that Rahman is doing it. Am I hurt about not being part of Imtiaz’s new film? I’ve been too busy to think about it. I’m sure we’ll work together again in the future.”

Although Imtiaz remained unavailable for comment it is no secret that the filmmaker is known to let his head and not his heart rule when it comes to deciding his cast and crew. For instance, despite creating magic with Kareena Kapoor in Jab We Met he signed Deepika Padukone for Love Aaj Kal although Kareena, incidentally the film’s producer Saif Ali Khan’s lady-love, was very keen to be part of the film.

Kareena too couldn’t hide her hurt when she publicly admitted while receiving the best actress award for Jab We Met that she was upset with Imtiaz for not casting her in Love Aaj Kal. Even after Love Aaj Kal, Imtiaz chose Ranbir Kapoor over Saif Ali Khan in Rock Star although the latter had at one point been signed for it. Pritam’s exclusion is particularly surprising as he was known to be a close friend of Imtiaz.

According to reliable sources, the magical AR Rahman has already recorded two songs for Rock Star. While this fresh director-music composer jodi will be something to look forward to, those hoping to see Imtiaz and Pritam form a Nasir Hussain-RD Burman kind of director-composer team will surely be disappointed.

Rahman confirmed he’s composing music for Rock Star. “I will do it after I meet Imtiaz since one-fourth of the music is ready,” he said.

Ranbir-Rahman get jammin

The actor and the composer met at a music sitting session in Chennai

Ranbir Kapoor is a huge A R Rahman fan. Recently he got a chance to interact with the Oscar-winning music director and also attended a music session with him.

Ranbir was in Chennai with his Rockstar director Imitaz Ali who was meeting the maestro for a sitting. RK tagged along.

A source reveals, "The music of Rockstar will be a blend of uptempo and soulful tracks. Since Ranbir plays the title role, Imtiaz wanted him to attend the sitting and give inputs. But Ranbir, totally awestruck by the composer sat silent through out the session."

RK's first time

Rockstar will have six tracks composed by Rahman. As Ranbir has sung a song for Sajid Nadiadwala's Anjaana Anjaani, the composer teased him about turning crooner. The source adds, "This was the first time Ranbir attended a music sitting and he had a great time. He kept telling Rahman how much he loved his work and that he was thrilled to work with him for the first time."

This will be the first time Imtiaz will be working with a composer other than Pritam.
