"I kept hearing his music and really liking it ... there was a fresh
sound and a fresh approach ... and a completely different way of looking
at film music," said Rahman's friend, the German-born film composer Hans
Zimmer. "Like any good artist, A.R. is not a traditionalist, he's a
revolutionary. He uses all the revolutionary things that come from all
over the world in his stuff ... hip-hop beats, electronics .... and
there's an incredible inquisitiveness and playfulness in his music ... .
"Plus he writes a bloody good tune," said Zimmer, an Oscar-winner for
his score to "The Lion King." "He's got the most perfect love theme
("Latika's Theme") in 'Slumdog Millionaire' which I am incredibly
envious of in a loving way."
