The album was released in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi. Release history Īn instrumental adaptation album was also released. So I was very lucky to find someone who was willing to break away and do something different.' For the Hindi version of the soundtrack, Alka Yagnik and Kumar Sanu were offered to sing the songs, but both declined as they did not know about Rahman at that time. He was ready to break a lot of conventions that were there in terms of music at that point of time, in terms of recording at that point in time.
I was looking at predominately my film at that point of time.
How much he would grow, I was not looking at. They were quite amazing and I had no doubts that he would be right for my film. So I went across to his studio and he played me some more, lots of things which he had done for jingles and a few other musical pieces he has done for somebody else. I thought that in the first note of the piece that he had sent me was really brilliant, really outstanding piece. Regarding the music Mani Ratnam says, 'I was trying to do a film, I wanted good music and I was searching for somebody who would and I heard a demonstration tape of his which he had sent across. In an August 2016 interview with Filmfare, Rahman recalled that he chose not to pursue education at Berklee College of Music because he got to work on Roja. I think it was the prospect of working with Mani that enticed me'. I was offered Rs 25,000 for it, a sum that I could make in three days composing ad jingles. Rahman would later say: 'I wasn't sure myself why I accepted Roja. Rahman, in spite of his reluctance to seriously take up work in films, accepted the offer since Ratnam had the reputation of a director with a good taste for music. Ratnam signed him immediately for his next project, Roja, which was the first one in his terrorism trilogy. Impressed with Rahman's works, Ratnam visited his studio and listened to a tune that Rahman had composed long back on the Kaveri River water dispute (later revealed to be 'Tamizha Tamizha' from the soundtrack). He happened to listen to some ad jingles, composed by Rahman, in an awards function, where Rahman received the award for Best Jingle Composer. Mani Ratnam after his long relationship with Ilaiyaraaja, decided to collaborate with a newcomer.
