After a good two hours, the waiting press breathed a sigh of relief, albeit with smiles on their faces and a nervous excitement and energy that usually surfaces when the open session is with one of India's greatest living music legends-- AR Rahman.

Rahman is currently one of the participating music producers of the TV show, Coke Studio. "You can be a little more flexible rather through this medium rather than in front of an audience where you can't do anything. Also, my evolution t as a musician -- from being an introvert producer to playing with Mick Jagger and gang of SuperHeavy and the entire process of music making has changed. I am gaining more confidence and trust towards a lot of musicians. Also, I aspire to produce a couple of albums. I am premiering my works which I had worked on before. One was with Ghulam Mustafa Khan Saab, which we did three years back. Another called Chemical Roses was co conceived with my sisters. There's another song based on Rabindranath Tagore's poem -- Where the mind is without fear," says Rahman. He is collaborating with diverse artists such as Ani Choying Drolma, a Buddhist monk from Nepal, Jordanian singer Farah Siraj, Sivamani and even percussion students from his music school.
