Director Shankar, again a favourite with Rahman - having worked with him on on
some of his earliest films like 'Gentleman' 'Kadhalan' and later 'Indian'
'Jeans', 'Mudhalvan' 'Nayak' and 'Robot', has only praises for him, "A.R.Rahman
- the name speaks for itself. He knows what clicks and what does not. He
composes music according to the demand of the situation. He slogs so much to
see that a song is good. He does not want to give anyone in the world the
chance to tell him that his compositions are bad. What I like best in Rahman is
his fighting spirit and 'never say die attitude' ." World famous guitarist,
Jeremy Spencer ,formerly of Fleetwood Mac says 'The only contemporary Indian
composer I know of and like is A.R.Rahman. His 'Vandemataram' was brilliant'.
Lyricist Mehboob, who made his debut in 'Rangeela' and later penned Maa Tujhe
Salaam cannot stop singing the praises of Rahman, "If there is one person whom
I revere after God, our prophet, and my
family then it is Mr. AR Rahman. He is like a brother to me. I adore him so
much that I have no words to describe my feelings for this gentleman." The
veteran director Shyam Benegal who shifted from his long time regular, the
equally veteran Vanraj Bhatia, to Rahman, for the film Zubeidaa says, ', I
admire three things about Rahman. Among the young composers he probably is the
most original. He has a strong sense of melody and his harmony is unbeatable.
Finally he gives his music a rich tonal color, richness through his combination
of instruments, a character to the music.'
