Hai all, "Rahman brought me to films : I remember it was a rainy evening, with Dilip (A R Rahman) and I sipping coffee. We were at his studio and I started playing on the spiral drums. All of a sudden, he said: `why don't you work with me?' Everything happened so fast that my first recording for Roja was completed without my being aware of it. Dilip just switched on the recording machine while I played.I feel proud of myself : I have worked with Zakir Hussain, Louis Banks, Karl Peters, Shankar Mahadevan, Andrew Lloyd Webber, James Asher and Steven Segal. I have even formed a band called Silk. But if I am really close to anyone, it is S P Balasubramaniam, who is my godfather; Louis Banks; and A R Rahman, a childhood friend and my composer in Roja, Rangeela, Taal and Lagaan."
