00:00 Suresh Wadkar is a playback singer who has given many super hit songs in Bollywood as well as the Marathi film industry with his mesmerizing voice.
00:09 Recently he talked about the heated relationship between him and music composer A.R. Rahman.
00:16 In conversation with Rajashtri Unplugged, he opened this secret chamber in his heart.
00:21 A.R. Rahman and Suresh Wadkar worked together for the last time in the movie Rangila starring Urmila Matondkar, Aamir Khan and Jack Ishroff.
00:30 After that, things got strained between them and they never worked together.
00:34 Suresh Wadkar said that he had seen A.R. Rahman when he was a teenage guy named Dilip.
00:40 Later on, he converted himself to Islam.
00:43 It was their first meeting when Sureshji got to know about this.
00:47 He said, "One day I received a call from Madras, 'Rahman sir has called you to sing.'
00:52 Until that time, I had heard the name A.R. Rahman because Rosa had released.
00:58 So I went there. I didn't know about his daily schedule.
01:02 They worked from 2 in the afternoon until the late night around 3-4.
01:06 But that had become their system.
01:08 When he went for a shoot and then A.R. Rahman arrived, he was surprised to see him.
01:16 And he called him Dilip.
01:17 Then his assistant Mehboob corrected him saying, "This is Rahman sir."
01:22 After listening to the music and lyrics, Sureshji was very happy with the work
01:26 and both artists spent a good time working on it.
01:29 That song was from the Rangila movie, Pyar Ye Jaanein Kaisa Hai.
01:33 It was indeed an amazing collaboration between A.R. Rahman and Suresh Wadkar.
01:37 After that, both of them never worked together because there were certain disputes between them.
01:42 Suresh Wadkar said, "Sometimes at work, something may or may not appeal to someone."
01:47 First of all, the system didn't feel right because initially, his assistant recorded the song.
01:52 And then Rahman came when he and Saad Nasargam had already left for the hotel.
01:57 A.R. Rahman listened to the song saying, "No, no. I want it little this type."
02:01 Which didn't align with our system, causing a slight argument.
02:05 From that day until today, they have never seen together on a professional note.
02:10 Suresh Wadkar said that he is extremely happy with his work and progress.
02:15 Sureshji literally accepted that A.R. Rahman is a really talented person.
