Priyadarshan has worked in two movies with ARR - Kabhi Na Kabhi (apparently the first Hindi movie ARR signed) and Doli Saja Ke Rakhna. He was slated to do a third, The Last Revolutionary, a Hindi_English bilingual starring Abhishek Bachchan that never took off. Priyadarshan has once spoken of wanting ARR to score for his docu-film Kancheepuram which hasn't taken off either. Either Priyan has a very poor memory or is plain lying hoping SKJ and his readers won't know about movies south of the Vindhyas, when he says he has worked with ARR extensively in the South. Either way, given the inane stuff that Priyadarshan has been churning out like a factory (no puns intended), I would rather not see ARR working with him.
