Besides
Ranbir
Kapoor's
fabulous
performance
as
Jordan
who
undergoes
a
life-changing
journey
post
a
performance,
Imtiaz
Ali's
2001
film
Rockstar
is
also
remembered
for
its
soul-stirring
songs;
each
adding
a
distinct
flavour
to
the
film.
However
you
folks
would
be
surprised
to
know
that
Ranbir
Kapoor's
father
and
late
actor
Rishi
Kapoor
didn't
like
any
songs
from
the
film?
Music
composer
AR
Rahman
made
this
surprising
revelation
when
he
hosted
an
online
reunion
with
the
film's
team-
Ranbir
Kapoor,
Imtiaz
Ali
and
Sanjana
Sanghi
to
mark
the
completion
of
ten
years
of
the
music.
Rahman
recalled
that
they
were
filming
a
situational
song
in
Kashmir,
when
he
asked
everyone
about
their
views
on
the
film's
music.
While
most
people
said
that
they
loved
Rahman's
work,
director
Imtiaz
Ali
told
him
that
Rishi
Kapoor
wasn't
particularly
impressed.
Hearing
this,
Rahman
told
Ali,
"I
expected
this,
and
I
knew
why
also,
because
everything
was
so
complicated." He
further
prodded
if
Rishi
liked
any
of
the
tracks
on
which
Imtiaz
replied
in
negative
adding
that
the
veteran
superstar
told
him
that
he
"didn't
understand
anything."
After
hearing
Rishi's
feedback,
Rahman
decided
to
scrap
off
a
composition
which
they
were
supposed
to
do
and
came
up
with
'Nadaan
Parinde' instead.
Recalling
this
anecdote
during
the
reunion,
Rahman
said,
"It
was
very
important
to
get
that
comment,
which
changed
my
outlook
towards
this
song."
Elaborating
further
on
the
iconic
number,
he
said
that
it
has
a
certain
spiritual
quality
and
added,
"It
could
be
like
our
own
self
coming
back
to
us."
Ranbir
joined
in
and
said,
"I
think
every
audience
member
has
taken
their
own
meaning
to
the
song.
There's
a
personal
connect
for
everyone."
He
also
revealed
that
the
version
of
'Nadaan
Parinde'
which
made
it
to
the
final
cut
of
the
film
is
therefore
different
from
the
one
on
the
album.
Spilling
the
beans
about
it,
Ranbir
explained
that
Mohit
Chauhan
had
to
re-record
that
track
because
he
(Ranbir)
had
amplified
the
song's
impact
with
his
performance
which
was
filmed
during
the
last
schedule
in
Hyderabad.
Imtiaz
Ali's
Rockstar
is
considered
to
be
one
of
the
most
polarizing
films
of
recent
times.
