AR Rahman Unveils Romantic Album at Taj Mahal

What better than the symbol of love, the Taj Mahal, as the backdrop to the launch of a romantic music album for the film "Ek Deewana Tha," says Oscar-winning music composer AR Rahman.

"The movie has so many romantic songs, so what can be the perfect way to project my songs with Taj as a backdrop. I always want people to recognize my music and this is what I am trying to do (through this album)," Rahman said.

The album has an interesting mix of romantic and emotional numbers. While two of them are fresh Hindi songs, the remaining five are Hindi versions of original songs sung in Tamil and Telugu. The lyrics are penned by Javed Akhtar.

Directed by Gautham Menon, the film revolves around an aspiring filmmaker from Mumbai, who falls in love with a woman from a strict orthodox Christian family. It is the remake of Tamil film "Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa," which was also directed by Menon.
