AR Rahman no more needs Hindi cinema says Ranjit Barot his collaborator
According to Ranjit Barot, AR Rahman finds greater creative freedom and respect for his artistry in Tamil cinema compared to the Hindi film industry.
AR Rahman’s long-time collaborator and celebrated musician Ranjit Barot recently opened up about the Oscar-winning composer’s unmatched work ethic and how his relentless dedication helped shape his journey to the top.
In a conversation with O2India, Ranjit shared, that he think he’s blessed, but doesn’t like to put too much weight on that, because it takes away from the hard work he’s put in. Everyone says, ‘He’s blessed, he’s blessed.’ But what is blessing, really? To him it’s acknowledging that he is been touched by a pure force, and then working on it. They are all blessed in some way, but the real question is: what are they doing with it? Everyone has a different path and a different journey. He does what he does because, in a way, he has been working like this 24/7 for 40 years. That’s what you call being blessed. Blessing isn’t just a label. Yes, they all feel blessed in some way, and yes, in their karmic journey, he has grown to this level. He has worked for many lifetimes to become this person, and then he happens to be in the right place at the right time. The fact that Ilaiyaraaja said no to Roja and Rahman grabbed the opportunity, these things definitely helped him. But the rest is all his hard work.”
