Singing sensation and music composer A R Rahman, who composed the music for director Ashutosh Gowariker’s movie ‘Mohenjo Daro’, sang a melodious song ‘Tu Hai’ from its soundtrack at a promotional event.

The romantic number has been composed by music maestro and sung by him and Sanah Moidutty.

Director Gowariker introduced the entire cast and crew to the media before Rahman’s performance.

Starring Hrithik Roshan, debutant Pooja Hegde and veteran actor Kabir Bedi, the movie is an epic adventure-romance, set in the ancient city of Mohenjo-daro, now in Pakistan’s Sindh province in the era of the Indus Valley civilisation that dates back to 2600 BC.

Debutante Pooja, a former beauty pageant contestant, has worked in the Telugu films “Oka Laila Kosam” and “Mukunda”.

‘Mohenjo Daro’ marks Gowariker’s second collaboration with Hrithik Roshan after 2008 film “Jodhaa Akbar”.

‘Mohenjo Daro’ release date is August 12.

A R Rahman says that when the director Ashutosh Gowariker told him about it, he thought it would be a “boring” historical documentary.

At a media interaction for the film, as Gowariker asked Rahman how he had managed to come with a good album for the film, he replied: “Initially when you said ‘Mohenjo Daro’ I thought it’s going to be like a historic documentary, it’s going to be so boring.

“But then when you showed me all the pictures, it really inspired me. So I was trying to go to that zone and unearth with my imagination.”


Asked by Gowariker how he managed to keep diverse cultures blended, considering his music for Hollywood films, Indian films and the South American style music he gave for the recent film ” Pele: Birth of a Legend”, Rahman said: “I used to do it better before, I can’t do it anymore; I am getting older. I want to go deeper into things.

 


“We are connected as human beings ; we all have the same emotions, love, sadness, anger, romance and dreams, so I tap on to that universal factor of an emotion and the rest of it is just covering, it’s sweetening, but the core of connecting all of us is the same. It’s incredible.”
