ARR says his voice was NOT the right choice for "Tere Bina"
http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?NewsID=1066897

AR Rahman started his career with filmmaker Mani Ratnam. The duo is back together again with ‘Guru’. Rahman says, “There is anticipation, both good and bad. Mani and I think alike as far as music goes. That’s how I ended up giving music to ‘Guru’. We were done with composing most of the songs even before he started shooting.”

Rahman has used Bappi Lahiri’s voice for the first time. “We were wondering whom to get to sing ‘Bolo Guru’ and then Gulzar suggested Bappida’s name. We were not sure if his voice would suit Abhishek. However, once we tried him, we liked the results.”

Interestingly, Rahman thinks another song that he himself has sung doesn’t suit Abhishek at all.

He says, “Every time I sing, I feel my voice doesn’t suit the actor. Earlier I had such apprehensions when I sang for Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Dil Se’. I had similar apprehensions while singing for Abhishek. Even after watching the song 20-30 times, I am still to be convinced. In fact, first time I watched it, it almost spooked me. Hope the audience doesn’t agree with me!”

Chinmayee's voice doesn't suit Aish at all too! but who cares about it! It suits the music & the mood.

This is one area ARR definitely needs to improve. He has done such blunders earlier too. Like letting Udit sing for Rajini...

I wonder why he sung if he was so unconvinced. Was it the case of director putting pressure on ARR?

hmm listened to mayya mayya isnt it similar in parts to vaanil yeni pottu from pudhiya mannargal....and nannare in barso re is similar to the stanza aashiq se apna in osaka moriya from 12ka4

Maybe ARR sang for it as a temp track and Mani liked it?

ARR is a very senti person.......i guess he should have sung this song only for Nursat Fateh ali khan...........he must have thought, only him singing in the song will be the perfect tribute to the late genius.....

I forgot the song was a tribute, Maddy. But he's the composer, so isn't that tribute enough

A R Rahman, Manirathnam do it again for Guru
IndiaGlitz [Thursday, November 30, 2006]

When A R Rahman and Manirathnam combine, they simply break all records in audio sales.

Ever since Roja, the two had come together on several occasions. All their songs have topped the audio charts and the cassettes always made roaring sales. They have re-created their magic again in Guru.

The Hindi movie starring Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai has musical score by Rahman. The audio was out a couple of weeks ago. It has now emerged as a hot cake in the Chennai audio market.

The album has seven songs and Rahman has shown his mastery by coming up with a variety of genres.

Popular music composer Bappi Lahiri has sung a song besides Hariharan, Shreya Ghosal, Alka Yagnik, Chinmayee, Chitra and of course Rahman himself.

Now Guru maybe dubbed in Tamil and so the songs will also be out in Tamil.
