Says AR Rahman, “When Aanand narrated the script to me I was drawn to its Indianness. Raanjhanaa has an earthy Benaras feel to it and the music here plays a bigger role.It aims to tell a story with classical and folk elements that are character driven.The film has a rustic and urbane side to it which is reflected in the music.”
