The team behind the 1999 musical hit `Taal` came together in Mumbai to celebrate the film`s 25th anniversary with a special screening. The event saw celebs including music maestro AR Rahman, director Subhash Ghai, actors Anil Kapoor, Saurabh Shukla, producer Ramesh Taurani, and choreographer Shamak Davar in attendance. The movie, best known for its iconic soundtrack, including `Taal Se Taal Mila`, `Ishq Bina`, `Nahin Saamne`, `Ramta Jogi`, and `Ni Main Samajh Gayi` still holds a special place in the hearts of music lovers.
While speaking at the event, filmmaker Subhash Ghai revealed that despite getting a whopping amount from the record label Tips, AR Rahman was paid minimum fees. He said, "They (Tips) gave me a lot of money for Khalnayak, more than what I hoped for. I quoted a high amount so they declined. But they agreed! The next day, I rushed to Laxmikant ji’s place and told him, ‘Zulm ho gaya hai (It is a mistake)’!”
