Music composer AR Rahman’s words brought a wave of cheer to all those who had queued up to Kamarajar Arangam on Tuesday to get a glimpse of the Oscar Award winning music director. AR Rahman had agreed to be chief guest of the audio launch of Vignesh’s ‘Esa’.

“In case you are wondering why I have chosen to attend this function, this is the event. The father of the music director of ‘Esa’ was having a music troupe when I was a kid had a troupe too. It is his association that has brought me here,” said the composer who was asked questions on stage.

One of the questions pointedly asked him if he were planning to settle abroad in search of a bigger music career. Responding with a firm No, Rahman said this was because his family lived here and he would not want to leave them. “Also, I have committed myself to four more projects now, Vinnaithaandi Varuvaya, Endhiran, Sultan The Warrior and Raavana,” said the ace musician.
