AR Rahman responds with grace
In an interview with ANI recently, Abhijeet slammed Rahman, accused of ignoring traditional musicians and highly relying on laptops and digital tools. “The music that the artists play, they leave unemployed,” the star claimed that Rahman’s style has ignored the instruments throughout the industry.
Rahman, however, followed the allegations with India in an interview with today, saying, “I am good to blame everything. I still love Abhijeet, and I will send him a cake. Also, it is his opinion, and nothing is wrong in being one.”
Rahman says that computers are just equipment
He explained his efforts to continue the support of live music. Rahman said, “I have recently established an orchestra with 60 women in Dubai. They are being employed every month and are being paid insurance, health and everything.” “What I do in every film, it is Chha or Ponyin Selvan, it consists of close musicians of 200-300, and some songs are working more than 100 people. I do not show or post photos with them, and thus no one knows about it.”
The composer also clarified the role of technology in music-building. “Computer is used as a tool to design extraordinary harmony, but I could not play musicians and later to reject them,” he said. “Manufacturers with whom I work, they can do vach for how many musicians are involved in this process.”
Recent works of Rahman include Vicky Kaushal and Tamil romantic drama Kadalikka Nermililai starrer Chhava. He is also ready for Aamir Khan’s production Lahore 1947, Mani Ratnam’s Thug Life, Anand L. Rai’s Tere Ishaq Meen, and will cooperate with the global icon Hans Zimmer for Nitesh Tiwari’s epic Ramayana.
