Ohh it appears we were his fans so far because he listened to us, worked in the movies we told him to work in and with directors we would like him to work with. And now, he will no longer listen to us and will only spend time doing vague hollywood work. I know my comments are tongue-in-cheek.
On a serious note let us all remember that AR made all his choices and we only enjoyed the output. If we have come so far with boss' music, let us trust him to make the right choices going forward also and just sit back and enjoy his music. My two cents. ________________________________ From: ravi <ravis...@gmail.com> To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wed, July 28, 2010 12:05:57 AM Subject: [arr] Re: No more Bollywood for Rahman! - TOI Article Are we AR fans for his music or for the reason that he composes for Hindi/Tamil/Telugu/Malayalam? --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, "virtualfool_80" <s_sundarr_2...@...> wrote: > > > Am happy Rahman is planning to concentrate more on Hollywood films.
