Highlights
- You may see Shah Rukh Khan dancing merrily to the tune of Antenna, a song from his home production Always Kabhi Kabhi but what many people do not know is the persuasion that went into making that song come out of Pritam's head.
- SRK likes to work at a certain speed but when Pritam was not able to deliver the required item song even after several attempts, SRK took charge. He spent many hours in the studio with the music director, virtually extracting the tune out of Pritam.
- The director Roshan Abbas said, "It is true that Pritam and I were not getting the song right. We tried several titles, like 'As we go set me free' and Shout zara sa. But nothing seemed to work. Then Shah Rukh got impatient. He told Pritam he will be in his studio to get the song out of him."

SRK likes to work at a certain speed but when Pritam was not able to deliver the required item song even after several attempts, SRK took charge. He spent many hours in the studio with the music director, virtually extracting the tune out of Pritam.
The director Roshan Abbas said, "It is true that Pritam and I were not getting the song right. We tried several titles, like 'As we go set me free' and
Shout zara sa. But nothing seemed to work. Then Shah Rukh got impatient. He told Pritam he will be in his studio to get the song out of him."
Apparently Pritam took Shah Rukh's threat to be a joke. Roshan said, "When Shah Rukh actually showed up in the studio, Pritam was completely flustered and bolstered into action. Shah Rukh's brief to Pritam was to create a song that would convey the youth rebellion of Queen's
We will rock you."
Not only this, Shah Rukh refused to leave the studio until Pritam got it right. Roshan rationalised the superstar's impatience, "Shah Rukh is currently completely immersed in
Ra.One.
He has decided to give us time for
Always Kabhi Kabhi because this is his first home production that he is not starring in. The last thing his schedule can take right now is unnecessary delays."
