After previously collaborating on Slumdog
Millionaire Filmmaker Tabrez Noorani and Grammy Award-winning composer AR
Rahman come back together for Noorani’s directorial debut Love Sonia. Rahman
along with breakout artist Bishop Briggs will record new song entitled “I Am More”
for the film. The song is penned by Rianjali.
It’s round two for director Tabrez and Rahman, the
two have previously worked together for the film Slumdog Millionaire (2008).
Rahman's work gained him even more global prominence with the extraordinary success
of his score for the film.
Rahman will create the song along with young
American-British singer Bishop Briggs who is best known for her popular single
River.
Rahman shared, “I’ve known Tabrez since Slumdog
Millionaire and then we went on to work on a couple of other projects. With
this, he makes his directorial debut and I’m happy for him because projects
like these happen with a lot of good intention to propel positive changes in
the society. It was a pleasure working with Tabrez, Academy nominated producer
David and the talented artist Bishop Briggs for the song ‘I Am More’.”
Tabrez said, “‘I Am More’ is truly magical and
sung powerfully by Bishop Briggs. It’s a wonderful combination of AR’s Indian
aethetics and the powerful voice of emerging international star, Bishop.
Working with AR finally as a director was such an enriching experience, after
hearing about various Directors talk about what it was like to work with him.
He is truly a genius, understated, humble and so sensitive when it comes to
representing the matter of the film. It was a truly unique experience to work
with both AR, Bishop and Rianjali who wrote a truly beautiful song. I can't
wait for people to hear it.”
Co-Producer Amar Butala added “Love Sonia is an
important film. The cast and crew-each individual has made a spirited
contribution to the film. Having A.R. and Bishop on board is a blessing and a
validation of how much they loved the film. We look forward to releasing our
film on the 14th of September in India”
Bishop said, Love Sonia is more than a film; it’s
a movement, a conversation and an opening into what’s actually happening in the
world today. I feel so honored to be apart of what Tabrez has fearlessly
brought to the light. AR is a complete icon and to have collaborated with
someone who truly inspires me was an incredible experience I’ll never forget.
Tabrez and AR are legends and to have been able to work with them on something
so special, that I know will make an imprint on the world, is something I am
extremely grateful for.”
Executive Producer Shalini Thackeray, “it’s a
great honour to have a maestro like AR Rahman come on board on Love Sonia .With
him having worked with Tabrez before, I’m sure he will create something as
powerful as the film Love Sonia with the essence of the movie in mind. This
song will be a treat for everyone out there."
