Music Wizard AR Rahman exposes Hollywood’s dark side
Music Wizard AR Rahman exposes Hollywood’s dark side
It’s a well-known fact that South’s Music Wizard
AR Rahman has won International recognition and made not only South pride but the country as well.
His music for “Slumdog Millionaire” won two Oscars in 2008 for Best Original Score and Best Original Song.
However, notwithstanding on accomplishing such massive landmark, the Indian musical composer feels sidelined in
Hollywood. Scroll below for details as he exposes the dark side of the Western industry.
His talent has not only merely pulled him to the Academy Awards, but AR has also been honoured with as many as six National Awards, two Grammy awards, a BAFTA and a Golden Globe award. He should have
paradigmatically been in the international market, thriving and enjoying the position of a global icon like Priyanka Chopra did in the acting industry.
Ironically, the musician is now expressing his waterloo as he felt caged of sorts.
Over an interview with Forbes, AR Rahman exhibited the
the dark side of Hollywood as he shared, “As an Indian composer, winning an Oscar and all that stuff, he feels being sidelined. Even though he has put in 127 Hours, but still the urge… There’s nothing bad with that. Rahman is doing a lot of Indian movies and loves doing it as music is in his blood. Indian movies. He feels proud. But at the same time he also loves to do something that is completely unrelated to India as a creative expression. To get those is very difficult in Hollywood; all the places are already locked in.
Meanwhile, AR Rahman also grabbed a lot of eyeballs after he confessed that he liked
R Madhavan’s Rocketry: The Nambi Effect better than Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer.
On the professional front, Rahman scored music for veteran filmmaker Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan II.
