International biggies are queuing up to work with the Maestro from Madras, AR Rahman, but our desi actors are yet to realise his genius as they carelessly put aside opportunities to share the stage with him. And one such airy star is Farhan Akhtar, who turned down a personal invitation from the Oscar winning musician to sing a track for ‘Blue’.

According to the latest Bollywood news, Rahman much too eager for Farhan to sing for a track named ‘Fiqrana’ in ‘Blue’. So much so was the musician looking forward to Farhan singing that he had even composed the track keeping in mind Farhan’s range and style..

But the actor gave Rahman a rude shock when he decided to state a firm ‘no’. Disappointed by the actor’s attitude Rahman then asked Vijay Prakash of ‘Yuvvraj’ and ‘Swades’ fame to sing the track.

Confirming the news, ‘Blue’ director Tony D`Souza said, “We were very keen to have Farhan sing for us. But he couldn`t. So we got Vijay Prakash for ‘Fiqrana’”.

The multi-talented Farhan Akhtar who showed his singing talent in Rock On is an excited man nowadays. He’s going to sing an A R Rahman composition.

He is a director, producer and actor and now on his way to become a professional singer. Well, he’s already showed what his vocal chords can do with his rocking numbers in the last year’s hit ‘Rock On’. It was the songs of this film that prompted Rahman to approach Farhan to sing a composition.

Rahman, who is composing music for the upcoming underwater adventure thriller Blue , wanted a husky voice for a cool song in the film. And when he heard Farhan’s vocals in ‘Rock On’, the Oscar winning musician decided to rope him in.
