"We had so many reasons to fight each other but 60 years later, it’s time to celebrate!” So said Bollywood’s biggest and best music composer AR Rahman last Saturday when I asked him about the current UK-India love affair. Rahman, known as the Mozart from Madras, was in London to attend a special question and answer session on his latest international musical, The Lord of the Rings, currently showing in the West End.
Sporting a new short haircut, the musical genius has just completed the score for Shekhar Kapur’s Elizabeth follow-up The Golden Age and is working on Aishwarya Rai’s historical romance, Jodhaa Akbar. Rahman recommends the following albums to listeners new to his work: Roja, Dil Se, Taal, Rang De Basanti and Guru. http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/film/bollywood/article2588325.ece
