Producer Sandeep Singh reunites the legendary musical duo of AR Rahman and Gulzar for Subrata Roy’s biopic. By Team Viva
Oscar-winner AR Rahman has created mellifluous music that has made international headlines and Padma Bhushan and Oscar winner Gulzar has written unforgettable lyrics defining India over the decades. Sandeep Singh, under his banner of Legend Global Studio, has brought both these legends together for his forthcoming prestigious project — the biopic on business tycoon Subrata Roy.
AR Rahman shares his sentiments on the collaboration, “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 adds, “It will be wonderful to collab orate with Rahman again. Roy’s life is enigmatic and inspiring. Rahman is a wonderful artist and musician and I look forward to this collaboration.”
Singh expresses his delight, “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 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. 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”
News of the biopic first broke last month when it was announced that Singh had acquired the rights of the film. The film is reported to be one that will span several continents and traverse the tycoon’s journey over the decades. Title and cast of the biopic is expected to be announced shortly.
