- Other worksIn June 1990, the London based music group, West India Company came to India to record the soundtrack for the Canadian movie Masala (1991). The band was formed by Stephen Luscombe who would later work in Feroz Khan's Prem Aggan, Pandit Dinesh and Asha Bhosle. Rahul Dev Burman was also involved with the creativity of the music. Other band member's were Vincent John Martin, Neil Arthur,Peter Culshaw and Boy George. Boy George was not present during the recording. The group recorded some songs for Masala (1991) that ended up not being used in the film. In fact the music of the film ended up being taken over by another music director. A clip of the Rahul Dev Burman in the studio recording a song is available on you tube. It is titled "R.D. Burman and Boy George". When the album got shelved, some how the YouTube song (with the black lady singing) got leaked and Nadeem Shravan got a hold of it. They took tune and created the song "Dil Tujh Pe Aa Gaya" from Dil Hain Ki Manta Nahin.

- Quotes(1990) Amitabh would best be remembered by historians as a 'Bollywood Legend', but Rajesh Khanna would remain a 'Permanent Superstar' for generations because of his natural charisma on and off screen. Khanna has done vast genres of films, experimented and performed many roles and also has keen interest in story, music and lyrics of songs in his films. Khanna is more versatile.
