A R Rahman, often referred as ‘Mozart of Madras’, is credited with taking Tamil film songs to the global audience. He not just stamped his class in Tamil film industry, but also asserted his mastery in Bollywood and also other parts of the globe.

A frequent globe-trotter, performing in various places across the world, Rahman is happy with his work in Sillunu Oru Kadhal which is currently rocking the audio market in Tamil Nadu.

His mix of jazz, folksy and simple melodies has been lapped up the audio fans. His next Guru for Manirathinam will hit the market this Deepavali, while works for Aamir Khan’s Lajjo have already commenced. Expectations are high on Rahman’s forthcoming venture Sivaji featuring Rajinikanth and directed by Shankar.

Known to work in the nights, Rahman seems to have changed his style of working for now. The soft-spoken music director, says, ‘I have changed my approach towards my work. I work from early in the morning till night.’

Rahman had recently performed at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles in July, along with Global Rhythms, the world music band comprising American students, who are die-hard fans of the young legend.

He would also be commencing works for his private musical album soon.
