Music maestro A.R. Rahman today revealed that the theme song for the Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi is about energy, winning and not giving up.

“When you hear the song you feel like India is calling you,” he told a packed media conference here on Monday, a day after he presented the
song to the Group of Ministers.

“I want the crowd to sing along with us. We have put in a lot of hard work into the song and we are all very excited to turn it into a memorable experience.” added Rahman

“With 30 days to go for the opening of Games Village, we are confident of great Games. I have heard the song and I am sure Rahman’s song will make every Indian proud,” said Organising Committee Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi Chairman Mr. Suresh Kalmadi, MP.

Rahman, who won two Oscar Awards for his score in Slumdog Millionaire, said the Group of Ministers liked the theme song.“I presented it to them last evening and they were excited,” he said.

“I am still working on fine tuning the song, which will be a big part of the celebrations. And I want to dedicate this song to Mahatma Gandhi.”

The Mozart of Madras said his goal is to come out with a memorable song. “There are a lot of positive things happening and my song also reflects the feeling of togetherness and excitement,” he said.

“I do not get distracted by the negatives around. I urge the media to focus on the positives and portray a positive image of India and the Commonwealth Games to the international community.”

Rahman, who will be performing during the Opening Ceremony of the Games on October 3, has scored some of the most memorable music in films. Besides the Oscar Awards, he won the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score and the BAFTA Award for Best Film Music for his score in Slumdog Millionaire.
