Music Maestro AR Rahman on Monday launched the theme song for Commonwealth Games 2010. The Group of Ministers (GoM) on CWG announced on Sunday that AR Rahman would tune its theme song.
"I want to dedicate the song to Mahatma Gandhi," Rahman said as he launched the song in the Capital. CWG Organising Committee chairman Suresh Kalmadi was also present with him.
"We discussed the theme song among ourselves and AR Rahman, (Film Director) Shyam Benegal and (Producer) Bharat Bala. The GoM has approved the theme song in principle. It will be before the public in another 10 days," Urban Development Minister S Jaipal Reddy, who heads the GoM, had said after the Sunday meeting.
Sources said the officials want to ensure that the theme song becomes a sensation like Rahman`s own Jai Ho composed for the film Slumdog Millionaire and Soccer World Cup theme song Waka Waka.
