Speaking about the experience, RIKA shared,“Working with A. R. Rahman has been nothing short of an honour. To bring Diane Warren’s beautiful words to life under his guidance has been a dream come true. Diane’s songwriting has shaped some of the world’s greatest songs, and lending my voice to her work alongside Rahman sir is beyond anything I could have imagined.”
