How does AR Rahman feel about the film now?
However, once the ace musician saw the final product, his mind was changed. He said “The scenes I thought would be cringy were handled completely differently. I asked Aishwarya who wrote the dialogues for the film and she said, “I wrote and Appa (father) modified them here and there.That’s when I realised it was Rajinikanth’s wisdom. He respects everything and researches in detail for every film.”
AR Rahman’s historic contribution to Lal Salaam
