Hi,
This interview below somehow sounds very much unlike the Rahman we
know. He would never say something like, "Tell me how many directors
today aim for perfection?". Something's fishy here.
Regards,
Adi.
PS: Dinesh, no hard feelings yar... The interview was too contradictory
with the Rahman we all know.

Rehman working on his own symphony
Wednesday, June 08, 2005
After a long interval, music director A R Rehman is now fully
concentrating on Tamil movies.
Rehman is busy composing tunes for Ajith''s Godfather and S J
Suryah''s A Aah.
Of course, he has his commitments in Hindi and is also scoring tunes
for an English musical.
Rehman is happy to be back in Tamil that shaped him up. "Since I was
busy with my earlier commitments, I could not concentrate on
Kollywood now. However I am back here with great enthusiasm and
energy."
A quick chat with the music genius.
What are the movies you are currently working?
Godfather is nearing completion. Then I have A Aah followed by a
movie titled Jil Endru Oru Kadhal starring Surya. I have composed a
song for Jil Endru Oru Kadhal which I am sure would become anthem
among youngsters.
Will you score music for low budget movies?
I am not averse to working in small budget films. I am more keen on
working with a good unit. I love to work with director Manirathinam
for he always strives for excellence. How many directors today aim
for perfection ? If I get the right team, I would work for any
producer.
When you score music for Bollywood and Chinese films, how do you
adapt yourself to the environment?
Whenever I work in any language, I understand their culture, know
about the people of the region as well. A song can reach masses only
if the tunes reflect the culture of the land.
What's your dream project?
I am keeping it a secret. I want to do a symphony. I have begun my
work towards it. The symphony is an inspiration of a Sufi story. I
want to name the symphony Conference of the Bird. Very soon I will
begin my work towards it.
It is said that you take huge money to score music?
I am not keen on making money. Had I wanted to make quick money, I
would have made it when I was scoring advertisement jingles before
Roja. God has given me this talent and I hope to continue with it
according to his wishes.
