Rahman feels on top of the world, says getting Hollywood offers
Mumbai (PTI): Soaking in triple Oscar nomination glory, Music maestro A R
Rahman on Thursday said he felt on "top of the world" and disclosed that he was
getting offers from Hollywood producers to provide the musical score for their
films.
Rahman did not give details of the nature of offers beyond saying Hollywood
producers have been making several telephone calls to him since his musical
score for "Slumdog Millionaire" won the Golden Globe award.
Pressed by newsmen about the offers, Rahman said he cannot reveal anything due
to confidentialities involved but would talk about it at an appropriate time.
Asked by newsmen whether the Indian film industry would lose him to Hollywood,
Rahman quipped, " I will do a balancing act."
The music wizard said representing India at the Oscar nomination was a great
energy booster.
"I did not think it will get there. God has been really kind. And I have to
really thank the prayers of all the people and their good wishes," Rahman said.
"Something good is happening and I am really happy about it," he said, adding
there is a kind of optimism in the film and so much of positive vibes as you
leave the movie hall."
