Over the years, Subhash Ghai and A. R. Rahman have collaborated on several Bollywood films, including the memorable projects “Taal,” “Kisna,” and “Yuvvraaj.” Among these, “Taal” is particularly distinguished for its unforgettable and timeless soundtrack, which continues to be cherished today.
Last year, the duo attracted attention when they gathered in Mumbai for a special screening of “Taal,” commemorating the film’s 25th anniversary. The event not only honored the musical triumph but also drew interest when Ghai disclosed that Rahman was compensated with merely the ‘minimum fees’ for his contribution to the iconic score.
In response, the acclaimed National Award-winning composer reportedly smiled and chose not to elaborate, simply stating, “Let’s not go there!”
On the professional front, the filmmaker recently announced a new project via social media. On June 30, Subhash shared a picture of Riteish Deshmukh with the caption, “She is our next heroine in our upcoming film under Mukta Arts. A classic beauty. Can you guess the name of this lovely girl? Please do share your thoughts (sic).”
The image appeared to be from the 2006 comedy “Apna Sapna Money Money,” in which Riteish played a conman who disguised himself in women's attire as part of his scheme.
