Abbas Tyrewala: I don't have the luxury of working with AR Rahman

Director Abbas Tyrewala, who worked with music maestro A.R. Rahman
for his first two films, says he is not
working with the Oscar-winning
composer in Mango.

"AR (Rahman) is not doing the music for
the film. He's a dear friend, but there are
so many demands the world is making on
his music. Every year one more city gets
added that wants him," Tyrewala said.

Rahman had earlier composed music for
Tyrewala's Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na and Jhootha Hi Sahi.

"There are certain realities that come with
working with him and those realities
sometimes involve a lot of waiting and
travelling. A film with a bigger budget can
afford that, but a film that is a little tight
on time, and clearly because it's all newcomers, so it's a little
tight on money,
can't.

"Unfortunately it's a luxury I don't have. To
work with somebody whom I've done
great work with, this time I don't have
that option," he added.
