Ram Gopal Varma recalled that Rahman said, ‘I am in London, I’ll come to Bombay on my way to Chennai and we’ll meet at Sukhvinder Singh’s studio and I’ll make the songs for you there.’ It was the said that Subhash Ghai then called Sukhvinder for the song to which he said that he was making some other tunes. Subhash Ghai asked him what he was doing, and he said that Rahman called him and asked him to make a song. Subhash was so angry. He thought because he was putting pressure on Rahman, Rahman was making someone else do the song. Rahman came and asked Sukhvinder if he had made something. In front of Subhash Ghai only he asked him. Sukhvinder said yes and made them listen to the tune. Rahman said he liked it and asked Subhash Ghai if he liked it. According to RGV, Ghai was visibly furious during the incident and began shouting at Rahman.

You have the guts to say that in front of me? If I want Sukhvinder, I’ll sign him, who are you to take my money and make Sukhvinder do the music for me?’” To this Rahman said, “Sir, you are paying for my name, not my music. If I am endorsing it, it becomes mine. Now you happen to be here, how do you know where I took Taal music from? How do you know whichever music… My driver could have done it, maybe someone else, whatever else."
