The mystique of A R Rahman

A R Rahman

His originality and ground-breaking innovations have changed the sound of music in Indian films. Derek Bose on the unorthodox and enigmatic genius
Songwriter Sameer is yet to get over his first meeting with A.R. Rahman in 2002. It was for the music recording of the film, The Legend of Bhagat Singh. Rajkumar Santoshi was its director and Ramesh Taurani, the producer. They all had taken a late-night flight to Chennai and driven straight to Rahman’s house from the airport – only to discover that the maestro was busy at another location.

WHAT THEY SAY...
 HIS TOP TEN

From ashes to diamond
Remembrance diamonds, made out of the ashes of the dead, are becoming popular with those who want mementos of their near and dear ones, writes Sam Cage
Diamonds really are forever. Algordanza, a small company based in the mountainous southeast of Switzerland, uses the ashes of dead people to make diamonds as a permanent memento for their nearest and dearest. And with prices starting at less than 5,000 euros ($7,488), the jewels are not solely the preserve of the jetset.
