When Suresh Wadkar refused to work with
AR Rahman after Rangeela

Suresh Wadkar recently recalled his early encounter with a young AR Rahman, thenWhen recognised as Dileep, lauding his synthesizer skills. Their association on the hit song ‘Pyaar Ye Jaane Kaisa Hai’ from Rangeela was a success. However, a subsequent recording session faced hurdles, leading to disagreements and ultimately preventing further collaborations, regardless Wadkar’s continued respect for Rahman’s talent.

AR Rahman’s song “Pyaar Ye Jaane Kaisa Hi” from Rangeela is still loved by fans even today. The song rendered by Suresh Wadkar and Kavita Krishnamurthy, is a melody that stays
Suresh did record one more song with Rahman after this, but their working bond was shived.

The veteran singer also recalled getting a call from Madras (Chennai) after hearing about AR Rahman following the release of Roja. He said Rahman had a unique work routine—sleeping until the afternoon and then working straight from 2 am. until 3 or 4 in the morning.

When he first met Rahman, he called him Dileep, the name he remembered from before. He was surprised to learn from lyricist Mehboob that the young composer was now Rahman. Rahman then played him Pyaar Ye Jaane Kaisa Hai, which Suresh loved right away. They chatted for a long time, and the song went on to become a hit.
So here’s the thing—after their first hit, things didn’t really click between Wadkar and Rahman. Suresh went to Chennai to record another song, but it didn’t go smoothly. Rahman’s assistant recorded the song with him, and by the time Rahman showed up, he and Sadhana Sargam had already left. After that, they never worked together again.

A small argument lead to a split..The veteran singer said that when the Oscar-winning composer arrived and asked for changes to the song, it didn’t go down well, and they had a small argument. After that, they never worked together again.
Despite their fallout, Suresh Wadkar still has great respect for AR Rahman. He called the Oscar-winning composer very talented, praised his work, and wished him well as the first Indian to win an Oscar.
