In an recent interview with Radio Mirchi, when AR Rahman was asked why he doesn’t compose more music for Bollywood movies, he said that some people in Bollywood have been spreading “false rumours” about him. “See, I don’t say no to good movies, but I think there is a gang, which, due to misunderstandings, is spreading some false rumours,” he said, reported PTI. Oscar-winning music composer AR Rahman says that he’s not getting enough work in the Hindi film industry because “there is a whole gang working against him,” reported news agency PTI. He composed nine songs for Sushant Singh Rajput’s last film Dil Bechara that premiered on Disney+Hotstar on June 24.
He added, “People are expecting me to do stuff, but there is another gang of people preventing that from happening. It is fine, because I believe in destiny, and I believe that everything comes from God. So, I am taking my movies and doing my other stuff. But all of you are welcome to come to me. Make beautiful movies, and you are welcome to come to me.”
Speaking about his experience in Bollywood, he narrated an incident with Dil Bechara director Mukesh Chhabra. Rahman said that Chhabra had been told many stories about him and was advised not to approach Rahman.
“When Mukesh Chhabra came to me, I gave him four songs in two days. He told me, ‘Sir, how many people said don’t go, don’t go to him [Rahman] and they told me stories after stories.’ I heard that, and I realised, yeah okay, now I understand why I am doing less and why the good movies are not coming to me. I am doing dark movies, because there is a whole gang working against me, without them knowing that they are doing harm.” he reportedly said.
