I basically love classical music. I love a lot of musicians playing together and the whole culture of that whether it's Indian or it's Western. But in India, I think it's limited to filler music unfortunately.

It requires a lot of work from me.

But then once you start working, you forget all that and you start enjoying what you're doing. Once you enjoy the process, you know that people are going to do the same thing. If you don't enjoy it and just do it like a job, then it's going to be feel that way. That's my theory of doing a movie.
A. R. RahmanBecause when you work with a different team, the expectations are different and then you deliver in a very different way. You look back at it and you're proud of yourself.
