AR Rahman had reservations about working on Maidaan
In an interview with Connect FM Canada, Academy Award-winning composer AR Rahman said, "When I first saw Maidaan, it didn't have the CGI. My question was, why am I doing this film? I have done a sports film already, so what am I going to do new in it? Then, when I saw it again, I thought there was a lot we could do, like bring the humanity, the romance, the powerful female character out."
He further explained that it's all about your mindset and how you approach things. Your perspective matters a lot, much like in life. Now that the song is completed, he praised the meticulous work of director Amit Sharma, who pays attention to every detail, whether it's a frame or a sound. Sharma has dedicated four years of his life to this film.
