Music maestro AR Rahman says he had a beautiful experience working on his maiden project with late filmmaker Yash Chopra, whose film Jab Tak Hai Jaan will release this Diwali .
“The experience of working with Yash Chopra is very beautiful. He was a very kind and an interesting person,” Rahman told reporters in Madhya Pradesh. Rahman has composed music for the Shahrukh-Katrina starrer, which incidentally is his first film with the King of Romance Chopra. The legendary filmmaker passed away on October 21.
