'Filmnews' Anandan, a well-known publicist, remembered in an interview some
years ago how Rahman was initiated into the world of films while he was
still a toddler and was called Dilip Kumar. The family embraced Islam after
Sekhar's death and his widow's marriage to a Muslim businessman.

Anandan remembered Rahman going to the film studios with his father Sekhar
who was an assistant music director in Malayalam films.

'Once a music director overheard the four-year-old trying out a tune on a
harmonium,' Anandan said. 'He quickly spread a cloth over the keys.
Undaunted, the child repeated the tune, this time running his fingers
confidently over the cloth. Who would have thought then that the boy would
scale such heights?'

Rahman says he has a simple explanation for his success. "I believe that
every individual, even an atom, can move only with the will of God," he
offers. "I don't take credit for doing all this. If I did, then I would fall
flat."
