New Delhi, Aug 25 - After teaming up with music maestro A.R. Rahman in hits like 'Lagaan' and 'Jodhaa Akbar', director Ashutosh Gowariker has roped in budding composer Sohail Sen for 'What's Your Raashee?' and the young musician says drawing comparisons between him and the Oscar-winning genius wouldn't be fair.

'I never had in mind that I will be compared to Rahman. That shouldn't happen at all. He has been in the industry for so long and I'm just a beginner; so any comparison with him would not be fair,' Sen, who has composed 13 tracks for 'What's Your Raashee?', told IANS over phone from Mumbai.

'I'm a great fan of Rahman. I have been listening to his music over the years and he is just like an idol for me. He is an encyclopaedia of music,' Sen added.

The 25-year-old has got music in legacy from his father Sameer Sen, a well-known name in the field of music in Hindi films, but says creating songs for the Priyanka Chopra, Hurman Baweja-starrer was not a cakewalk.

'Creating 13 different songs, each for one particular zodiac sign, was a difficult task. We had to maintain distinctiveness. Initially I was nervous. But when Ashutosh-ji and Javed (Akhtar)-saab briefed me and we started working on them, it became better.

'But we did our homework too before starting on the work. We worked on the album for more than one and a half years,' said Sen, who had earlier composed music for the 2008 movie 'Sirf'.

Asked which was the most difficult number to create, he said: ''Chehra jo dekhe hain' was the most difficult song.
