A R Rahman on cover of People

Slumdog Millionaire has been in headlines for the number of Oscar nominations and the Golden Globes that it has won. But, one individual associated with this film has been blessed with success at every step that he took in his career. He has not once taken it for granted; instead he has worked even harder to outdo himself. The person we are talking about is none other than A R Rahman.

People magazine brings musician A.R. Rahman as its exclusive cover this month. The soft-spoken maestro attributes his success as much to his tremendous talent as having “ethics, commitment, passion and friendship”. After taking the international stage by storm with his score for Slumdog Millionaire, Rahman is now intent on cementing his reputation further.

Though Slumdog Millionaire is a Hollywood film that won him international acclaim (the Golden Globe and Oscar nominations), Rahman says that it is the victory of the Indian music. “My win is a win for Indian music. And I want to bring India more and more recognition in the field of music.”

And now though the world is at his feet, for Rahman family comes first. “It is too exhausting to have many films on hand. We all need a personal life. I need to spend quality time with my family.”
