I needed a composer who could give me that feel. It was difficult to get Rahmans time. I was lucky when he decided to come on board It is confirmed news that A.R. Rahman will be composing music for Aanand L. Rais next titled Raanjhanaa. The project has been in the news as Dhanush of Kolaveri Di fame is the hero. However now the news is that the film will have about eight songs and Rahman would also be doing the background score. Though the film is set in Benaras,Rai said,It is the Benaras with an attitude,the UP that is known for romance. Raanjhanaa is a contemporary love story with a fresh nostalgic feel and hence I needed a composer who could give me that feel. It was difficult to get Rahman as he had decided against doing any Hindi film after the Yashraj project. I was lucky when he decided to come on board. As for Dhanush lending his voice for the film,the director asserted that the actor had not been signed to cash in on his Kolaveri Di fame. There is no condition as such that Dhanush has to sing in the film, he said adding that the South actor is honing his skills in Hindi laced with the UP dialect.
