AR Rahman, while expressing his excitement about the album launch, said, “When a film and its plot travels around India, the music needs to move with the story too, and mirror the moods and sentiments of the characters. Stories like Atrangi Re give us the opportunity to try out something different musically. My best wishes to the entire team: Aanand L Rai, Bhushan Kumar, Akshay Kumar, Sara Ali Khan and Dhanush.” Producer Bhushan Kumar also commented on the music of the movie and said, “The music in the film celebrates India as we know it! It is a mind-blowing composition by A. R. Rahman and is a perfect example of north meets south. We hope you enjoy the music in the film!”
“One honest confession, I am very possessive about Rahman sir’s songs. If given a chance I would have kept all the songs exclusively for myself. You feel so proud that the entire magic took place in front of you. Every song is like a different colour and in the end, you see a beautiful soulful rainbow,” said filmmaker Anand L Rai. Music albums of Anand L Rai’s movies have always topped the charts and his collaboration with A R Rahman has created magic earlier also, in movies like Raanjhana and expectedly, Atrangi Re would be no different.
