After
successful
collaboration
on
Rockstar,
Imtiaz
Ali
and
AR
Rahman
are
all
geared
up
for
Highway.
The
director
was
initially
a
little
hesitant
to
ask
the
music
maestro
to
compose
the
music
for
the
film
as
AR
Rahman
was
extremely
occupied
and
had
a
choc-a-bloc
schedule
lined
up.
Talking
about
his
association
with
Rahman,
Imtiaz
said,
"We
started
this
film
in
a
big
hurry.
So,
I
did
not
want
to
trouble
him
but
we
stay
in
touch
and
I
mentioned
the
story
to
him
one
day.
We
talked
about
it
for
a
while
and
he
was
onboard."
The
duo
is
sure
to
recreate
the
same
magic
in
the
upcoming
film,
but
clearly
states
that
the
nature
of
Rockstar
and
Highway
is
completely
different.
Talking
about
Highway,
Imtiaz
further
adds,
"This
story
is
played
out
on
a
large
and
very
picturesque
terrain.
In
this
kind
of
journey
you
feel
certain
things
that
can't
be
expressed
except
through
music.
Most
of
the
songs
play
in
the
background
in
Highway."
Highway
is
set
in
six
different
states
and
captures
the
journey
of
two
completely
opposite
people
who
are
thrown
together
by
fate.
Starring
Randeep
Hooda
and
Alia
Bhatt,
the
film
is
slated
to
release
on
13th
of
December,
2013.
