It was my kind of vibe,” Rahman told PTI in an interview.Ĭrediting the film’s team, including choreographers Saroj Khan, Ahmed Khan, actors and producerJhamu Sughand, Rahman said he learnt a lot while working on the movie. We would just talk and joke and have fun. The soundtrack arrived naturally and we didn’t feel the pressure for this movie because I was enjoying the new company I had in Ramu and lyricist Mehboob. “Composing the songs of ‘Rangeela’ was like discovering something new.

His songs for "Roja" (1992) and "Bombay" (1995) were dubbed from Tamil. The 1995 film, which marked the arrival of Rahman in Bollywood, had seven songs composed by him including evergreen hits such as ‘Tanha Tanha’, ‘Rangeela Re’, ‘Yayire Yayire’ and ‘Kya Kare Kya Na Kare’.
