Arsh bhai there's a hidden story behind all of this Rahman stuff, especially with him re-making his tamil songs. A lot of it is not is fault at all!
This message is by Saif from the indolink forum in regards to this:
*****************
For Lakeer...out of the 6 only 3 songs have been dubbed from Tamil, and it wasn't ARR's decision either...Vashu Bhagnani bought the rights for 3 songs from ARR's Tamil album Rhythm, without ARR's permission or knowledge ..the producers changed but the songs remained with the director...in such cases ARR is 'forced' to be a part of the movie...the 3 original songs are bad, simply cuz ARR would never say yes to such a movie but had to compose them cuz his name got involved...same thing with Saathiya, Shaad Ali wanted to use the same songs from Alai Payuthey and Mani Ratnam agreed, but ARR had absolutely no say in that...even for Andrew Lloyd Webber's Bombay Dreams, Webber wanted to use ARR's previous hits.. ARR insisted and told him that he can compose fresh new tunes, but Webber being the producer wouldn't budge from his decision...the way things work in the music industry is so messed up, the songs remain the property of the producers and they can sell/buy the rights anytime and can use these songs in any way they want - this sometimes has a negative effect on the MDs ..and ARR has gained the reputation of being repetitive and lazy and whatnot -- all for no fault of his
With that said and done, ARR has re-used his Tamil songs a few times (out of his own decision i.e.), but only when its absolutely necessary...I think he has dubbed only 4 songs so far, like Milgayee Milgayee - Kabhi Na Kabhi (Anjali Anjali - Duet), Jumbalika - Thakshak (Jumbalakka - En Swasa Kaatre), Gurus of Peace - Vande Mataram (song from Karuthamma) and Ek Tu Hi Bharosa - Pukar (some Malay song he specially composed for a concert in Malaysia)...all the rest of the songs have been re-used based on the producers' decision. 
***************
It doesn't surprise me one bit, because Rahman proved he is a powerhouse when it comes to making music, but when you're recycling your music based on producers/directors requests or from buying the rights, there's not much u can do....
As it is, Rahman has some huge albums coming up where none of the songs will be remade. Needless to say, Rahman will show everyone what he's truly made of!
