Facing the music, Rahman?

Filmmaker Subhash Ghai and music director AR Rahman have worked together on many films, but always shared a love-hate relationship. In 1999, during the making of Taal, Ghai found it difficult to adjust to Rahman's style of working.

Rahman would usually record the songs during the night, and this wouldn't suit Ghai at all. And now, if whispers are to be believed, the two are in fight mode again.

Rahman is working on Ghai's upcoming film Yuvvraaj, and the two reportedly engaged in a verbal tussle recently, regarding the music of the film.

Our source reveals, "Ghai felt that Rahman was sideling Yuvvraaj and wasn't giving it enough time to complete the recording. Ghai felt deeply disappointed by it.

Ghai flew off the handle recently when Rahman failed to deliver certain songs that were to be shot with Salman Khan."

When contacted, Ghai denied the episode saying, "AR Rahman and I never had any sort of a verbal tussle. Making music is a creative job and Rahman takes his time for it. We share good vibes."

Our source however reiterates, "Ghai was to shoot with Salman and the actor had even doled out dates for the shoot. But since the songs weren't ready, Salman's dates were wasted.

Ghai had a verbal duel with Rahman regarding this. He even accused Rahman of not giving Yuvvraaj its due importance.

Rahman, on the other hand tried to explain the reasons for the delay, but Ghai would clearly hear none of it and gave Rahman a sharp dressing down."
