AR Rahman on doing fewer Bollywood films: There is a whole gang working against me

The Mozart of Madras, Oscar and Grammy-winning musician AR Rahman is one of the most celebrated musicians we have in India. He is a blessing for music lovers and its an honour to have a talent like him in our film industry. But off late, the musician-singer has composed for very few Bollywood films as compared to his work in Tamil cinema.

Rahman in a recent interaction revealed why he has been taking up lesser Bollywood projects.

The renowned music-composer said that there’s a gang spreading false rumours about him in the Hindi film industry and that’s the reason why he isn’t working on more Bollywood films. Rahman recently composed music and sang for a few songs in Sushant Singh Rajput’s last film ‘Dil Bechara’.

Speaking to Radio Mirchi, Rahman shared, “I don’t say no to good movies, but I think there is a gang, which, due to misunderstandings, is spreading some false rumours. When Mukesh Chhabra came to me, I gave him four songs in two days. He told me, ‘Sir, how many people said don’t go, don’t go to him (Rahman) and they told me stories after stories.’ I heard that, and I realised, yeah okay, now I understand why I am doing less (work in Hindi films) and why the good movies are not coming to me. I am doing dark movies, because there is a whole gang working against me, without them knowing that they are doing harm.”

He further added that he is fine with everything since he believes in destiny and that everything comes from God. “But all of you are welcome to come to me. Make beautiful movies, and you are welcome to come to me,” Rahman added.

Well, now that Rahman himself has set the record straight we hope in the coming time we will get to hear more of his magical music. Until then you guys stay tuned to this space for more such updates.
