Musical maestro AR Rahman has hinted that he has been away from Bollywood for the past eight years. In a recent conversation with a British broadcasting institution, the Oscar-winning composer revealed that the shift in power dynamics in the Hindi film industry has significantly impacted his work. Rahman, a 59-year-old musician from Chennai, said that he felt like an outsider in Bollywood even after his critically acclaimed film “Taal” (1999). He attributed this to his inability to create music that resonated with the industry’s changing trends.
Rahman, who has been a part of the Indian film industry for decades, highlighted the importance of creativity in the industry. He stated that those who lack creativity now have the power, implying that the industry’s focus has shifted from artistic expression to commercial viability.
The maestro recalled his early days in Bollywood, when he struggled to create music that catered to the industry’s demands. He remembered how Subhash Ghai, the director of “Taal,” encouraged him to learn Hindi, which he believed was essential for creating music that connected with the audience. Rahman also mentioned that he learned Urdu and Arabic to better understand the nuances of Hindi film music.
Rahman’s comments come at a time when the Indian film industry is undergoing significant changes. The industry’s power dynamics have shifted, with new players emerging and established producers facing challenges. Rahman’s remarks have sparked debate among industry insiders, with some questioning the impact of the shift on creative expression.
