Ar rahman to work with yash chopra

Next big news for rahmaniacs is that A.R. Rahman is all set to work with Mr. yash chopra and sharukhan in his next film. Rahman had recently posted details about this venture in his facebook profile. I'm sharing it here:

"Yash Chopra to collaborate with music maestro A. R. Rahman

Yashraj Films and A. R. Rahman are very proud to announce the next project directed by Yash Chopra.

For the first time, Yashji and A. R. Rahman have come together for the music of this project. It is indeed special to have these two industry stalwarts collaborating on a film.

Speaking on this, Yash Chopra was effusive in his praise for the talented music director. "I am starting work on the music of my, as yet, untitled film with the very talented Rahman. Apart from the great honour that he has consistently brought to our country, he is also someone that has created some outstanding and memorable music, something which is very important and dear to me and my films. I am looking forward to creating some wonderful music combining Rahman's contemporary world music sensibilities and my old world sensibilities of lilting melodies."

A. R. Rahman, while speaking about working with Yashji for the first time said, "I am very excited to work with Yashji and I am humbled by his faith in me for his film. I have seen that Yashji always portrays music as the inevitable essence of love and divinity in his movies. I hope, as a team, we can bring tremendous joy to all."

On the various conjectures about the cast for his movie, Yashji also said, "Everyone knows that when I make a movie, Shahrukh will be involved with it. He is like family to YRF and I have always regarded him as one of my own. There will be two leading ladies in my film. Once Adi gives me the final draft of the script, I will finalise the two girls who will be cast along with Shahrukh."
