Video From the 'Slumdog Millionaire' Soundtrack Release

January 08 2009 21:00 PST

The other day we told you how Anil Kapoor and other cast members gathered in the luxurious JW Marriott hotel for the 'Slumdog Millionaire' music release. Now we have a video of the event! In the video you can witness the excitement on the stars' faces as they showcase the music release. The video also features interviews from Anil Kapoor, Irrfan Kahn, and A.R. Rahman discussing the film and its music. Anil Kapoor talks about how he embraced the role of the 'bad guy' and learned to love the character. Anil Kapoor describes his role of TV game show host Prem Kumar as 'a role I have never done earlier in my career' and says that he played the role of Kumar 'with a lot of passion.'  For those unfamiliar with 'Slumdog Millionaire,' imagine Prem Kumar as a two faced Bob Barker, minus the message of dog neutering (former host of United States based game show 'The Price is Right').

Irrfan Kahn, who plays the role of a police inspector, does a little bit of joking but then goes on to express the satisfaction and experience he got from working with director Danny Boyle. A.R. Rahman may have not acted in any scenes of the film but his presence is felt throughout the entire movie. A.R. Rahman's compositions are such an intricate part of the film and bring every scene to life. In the video A.R. Rahman can be seen discussing how passionately he felt about this film and soundtrack. He did not want to just be a part of the soundtrack; he wanted to compose the whole thing. He talks about his worries that Danny Boyle would not like everything he worked on. Lucky for him (and us!) the director loved it! Check out the entire video below!
