Accordingly when music composer AR rahman was asked why he was not actively composing music for bollywood movies, he said that a gang, which, due to misunderstandings, is spreading some false rumors. On sunday, the Oscar-winning composer addressed the issue in a message once again, and said that while money and fame can be earned back, the prime time of one’s life can’t come back again. rahman was responding to a message by director shekhar kapur, who took a sarcastic jibe at people who are supposedly blocking rahman from getting work.
Do you know what your problem is, Rahman? You went and got Oscars. An oscar is the kiss of death in bollywood,” Shekhar messaged, adding, “It proves you have more talent than bollywood can handle.” To this, rahman replied, “Lost money comes back, fame comes back, but the wasted prime time of our lives will never come back. Peace! Let’s move on. We have greater things to do.”
Rahman’s comments come at a time when conversations around nepotism and an ‘insider versus outsider in Bollywood’ conversation has been sparked by sushant singh Rajput’s suicide in June. rahman has composed all eight songs in Dil Bechara, which premiered on Disney+ Hotstar on Friday. The film also features sanjana sanghi and Saif ali Khan. The composer further said that he is aware of people's expectations from him but the "gang" is getting in his way. In october last year, rahman turned producer with the musical film, 99 Songs. Dil Bechara, which is the directorial debut of mukesh chhabra, has been winning plaudits for its hummable tunes.
