Holding a Guinness World Record as the most prolific lyricist in Indian cinema, Sameer Anjaan has written thousands of timeless songs across decades. During his appearance on the show, the legendary lyricist talked about the creative challenges of his career, including his unique collaboration with maestro A.R. Rahman: “I found it difficult to write for A.R. Rahman. I have only worked with him on one movie, The Legend of Bhagat Singh. If you listen to the songs, you’ll understand how difficult they were to write. The movie has become a legendary film, and there were some lines taken from the original words of the ‘Shaheeds’. Reimagining and writing them was very difficult for me. It was a fun memory.”
