A R Rahman's 'Ottagatha Kattikko' (Gentleman, 1993) and La Caution's 'Pilotes Automatqies', 2005.

This one's a reverse! Or, it possibly could be. Just came across (thanks to messages in the Rahman Yahoo Group and TFM Page) a track 'Pilotes Automatqies' by a French hip-hop group called 'La Caution'. And it samples almost throughout the song, A R Rahman's 1993 chartbuster 'Ottagatha Kattikko' from Gentleman (called 'Roop Suhana lagta hai' in Hindi!). The hip-hop track is part of La Caution's 2005 album, 'Arc En Ciel Pour Dal Toniens'. Now, a few pertinent questions. Does the French album include a credit to Rahman? How did they come to know about a Tamil track...any possible Indian connection somewhere? And most importantly, does Rahman know?
