I first wanted to work with AR Rahman in my film titled ‘Television’. I approached one of my friends who is close to him but, somehow it didn't materialize. Then I approached him again in 2019 through my friend and asked her if she could speak to Rahman bhai. She spoke with him and later told me that he would like to see the film. By that time the American and the Australian schedule of the film was already done. I flew to India to complete the rest of the film. I went to meet him in Mumbai and narrated the story to him, he said, "It sounds interesting, can you show me the film tonight?" By the time I had the assemble ready, I immediately said yes and asked when he'd like to see the film. He said that he had to attend Javed Akhtar Sahab's birthday party in Taj Mumbai, later that night. So, he asked me to come over there and we could see the film in his hotel room. But, he was too tied up and came a bit late. So, it was not possible for him to watch the film there. He took the film and watched it on the flight. After watching the film, he said that he loved the film and would want to start working on it and then, things got easier. That's how he got on board.
