99 Songs leading man Ehan Bhat charts out how music maestro-producer AR Rahman readied him for his debut.

For Ehan Bhat, 99 Songs is the manifestation of his “endless prayers”. Where a Bollywood break is hard to come by, the Kashmir boy counts himself fortunate to be achieving this personal milestone under the guidance of music maestro-producer AR Rahman. “I auditioned for this film. I was handed over the scene which required a similar emotion that I was going through at that point…. So it was easier for me to emote. (Pauses) I am the first person in my family to enter filmdom and I have had my share of ups and downs. I think that’s what reflected in my performance and got me this role. I am thankful to Rahman Sir and Jio Studios for believing in me and giving me this opportunity,” says the actor.
Meeting Rahman for the first time remains one of his most cherished moments. “We both are shy. So, all we did in that meeting was look at each other, smile, look at the walls around and smile again,” he laughs, before adding, “Since he loves Kashmir, we spoke about its culture and amazing food.”
