It's a very simple process. He [Danny Boyl] comes in the tube (subway) and then he sits with me for 3 hours every evening and then I work on something. Then later, if he likes something, I put it even more perfectly. I tweak stuff. So this happened for 3 or 4 weeks and the music was done.

That's a sound design thing but then we wanted to do music that would not disturb it and at the same time drive it.

What is good is what it's going to lead to, like the song "Jai Ho." If good numbers are going to come in the future, it bodes well for a lot of things. But then, who's going to maintain that. That's the question. So far they could never lead to an Indian song, like a normal film song in this that they can relate to.

I think I would like to discover a new root where people don't get bored with people singing boring lines but something exciting. That'd be interesting.

My first experience of that was with my first movie which I did in India. And it was so different from other people. I find that "Oh my God." Every time the music is slow I feel that people are going to get up and go out. You get this nervousness. But, to my surprise, people starting singing the song even before it came in. They started singing along a week later, after release, which was very cool.

Rather than making money I believe in making people happy, all other things are secondary. Money isn't important, creative satisfaction is

You can't be without passion. Passion means the possessiveness to be the best.
