seconds,
follows
India's
passion
for
the
Olympics
which
is
held
every
four
years
and

(1996),

and
exclusive

this
year's
contingent.
Talking
about
working
with
AR
Rahman,
Ananya
said,
"He's
amazing
and
like
a
mentor
to
me.
He
has
been
very
gracious
and
humble
to
take
all
my
inputs.
I
asked
him
so
many
questions
and
he
didn't
allow
me
to
be
fearful
and
intimidated,
and
that
really
helped
me
express
my
creativity
fully.
He
sent
me
a
track
that
was
six
minutes
long
and
we
shortened
it
to
2
minutes
58
seconds."
