AR Rahman: I never look at music as the second option, for me it is the only option
Hindustan TimesAR Rahman’s almost 30-year career which started with Roja in 1992 has been quite exemplary. And even after six National Film Awards, two Academy Awards, two Grammy Awards, a BAFTA Award, a Golden Globe Award later, the quest to do better still remains as strong as his first project. Music composer AR Rahman has been in the music business for almost three decades now. “I never look at music as the second option for me it is the only option I kept telling about how my mother made the choice of me to be a composer. Things are getting updated and same ragas are being played by younger people and they bring in their own flavor.” Another reason why the 54-year-old believes that music is irreplaceable and will also live on is because of the young talents that are coming up.
