Next: A world class studio in Chennai

You are one of the few from the southern film industry who have not only 
entered Bollywood but
also gone global. What would you attribute your success to?

My approach was different. If I had done what others were doing, I would have 
not made it in
Hindi films. Even abroad, they don't want another John Williams. They want a 
different person
with a different appraoch.

Is there any bias in Bollywood against film personalities from the south?

I don't think so. I have never experienced any bias. 

But you never made Mumbai your base.

I love working from Chennai and I have a network of musicians here. It makes my 
job easy. I am
also in the process of setting up a recording studio in Chennai, which will be 
world class and
the best in the country. It will be opened in a short time.

What are your forthcoming projects?

Currently, I am working on Shekar Kapur's Buddha. Besides, I'm working on Lord 
of the Rings
musical, which will be opened the next year.
