How has your relationship with Rahman evolved over the years?
I have a very spiritual connection with Rahman. Most of our conversations revolve around spirituality. He reached out to me to assist him on Delhi 6. We have shared a good relationship for 9-10 years now. Even at his stature, he is constantly trying to learn more about his craft. He is also an extremely humble person. Maybe because he is so quiet, people might not feel like approaching or disturbing him. But in reality he is a very approachable and cool guy.

So can it be said that playback singers lead a dual life — one for their film career and one for personal expression?
Not really. I am very single-minded in my passion. At the end of the day, it's all about making music. Whether I do it for a film, or for my own pet project, it doesn't really matter. I consider myself a student of music who is trying to learn everything and figure out his path along the way.

How different is making your own music video from singing for a Bollywood or Tamil/Telugu film track?
It's quite different. When you are shooting your own music video, you are involved in every level of the production. For Heeriye, we made elaborate storyboards and shot the video in Kashmir. It was almost like making a short film. With Bollywood or film tracks, all that is taken care of. Films usually have higher budgets and great technicians to give you that production value. Another security with a good film track is that you are guaranteed a few million views and hits. There’s a great team working behind it, who ensure a certain buzz for the song. With an independent video, no matter how good, there's always a risk of falling short on views and popularity. It feels a little disappointing when the numbers don't show up. I usually don't go back to check YouTube view-counts, but I know independent singles fall behind film music. I am trying hard to crack that.
