Watch the video here:
The video which has received much love from netizens begins with Mukhate asking Rahman, “We have seen your journey from music to film making, it’s very fascinating and I would like to know what inspired you to turn into a actual story writer, because you’ve been telling stories through your music for decades now and what made you turn into a actual story writer?”. For those unaware, Rahman is turning into a film writer with the upcoming multi-lingual musical romance film “99 songs”. The film starring Ehan Bhatt and Edilsy Vargas in lead roles has been directed by Vishwesh Krishnamoorthy and will release on April 16, 2021 in theatres.

What do you listen to?,” to which Rahman wittily replied, “I listen to you.” To this, an over joyous Mukhate can be heard saying that he will frame this little video clip for ever. Rahman also spoke about the inspiration, conversations that encouraged him to turn into a producer, the one song that changed his life and many more topics.
