New Delhi: Veteran Musician A R Rahman has made it to the Limca book of records for the year 2007. CNN-IBN's correspondent Reshil Charles quizzed him about his works and his reclusive nature.
Reshil Charles: 15-years after Roza, do you think there is something that you would like to change in your music style? A R Rahman: I don't think so. I think there is a personality attached to my music. There are so many different things happening that sometimes I feel that I should do similar stuff more. I am looking forward to some of the biggest projects this year. There is Lord of the Rings musical happening in May. Then there is Jodha Akbar, which is again a big project. Reshil Charles: People are saying that they can smell a Rahman track from a mile away. Is that a good thing or do you think that there are styles that you want to make different? A R Rahman: You can consciously try to be different. But there is a personality for which people know me now. That is enough to recognize something. I feel good about it. Reshil Charles: What do you have to say about your music label? A R Rahman: My first production Pray for me Brother has already done well. Start has been very good. We have certain plans. Once it comes out, everyone will know. Reshil Charles: Pease tell us about the status of The Lord of the Rings? A R Rahman: It's in the rehearsal stage right now. On May 9 I think it is going to be previewed first. We are looking forward to it now. Reshil Charles: You often go into a shell of some kind. Why do become reclusive about things? A R Rahman: I need to work. I need to be in my space and be with myself. http://www.ibnlive.com/news/showbiz/03_2007/i-need-my-own-space-ar- rahman-35938.html
