Ekk Deewana Tha

Ekk Deewana Tha (English: There was a Crazy Guy) is the soundtrack album, composed by A. R. Rahman to the 2012 Indian romantic drama film of the same name, written and directed by Gautham Menon, featuring Prateik Babbar, Amy Jackson, in her Bollywood debut, and Manu Rishi in the lead roles. A. R. Rahman has retained the same tunes from Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa and Ye Maaya Chesave. The soundtrack album consists of lyrics penned by Javed Akhtar, collaborating with Gautham Menon for the first time. Javed Akhtar replaced Thamarai from Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa and Anantha Sriram from Ye Maaya Chesave. Javed Akhtar had to be in Chennai, to supervise the script and writing the lyrics for the film. A source close to the development said, "Javed saab and Gautham hit it off well. The lyricist's inputs will be taken into consideration as Gautham is particular that his film should not come across as a routine South Indian remake." Clinton Cerejo sings Phoolon Jaisi instead of Omana Penne.
