I used to be sitting there not having money to buy anything. I built this and was sitting inside with no equipment. My first recorder came after my mom gave her jewels to be pledged.That is when I felt empowered. I could see my future, that one moment I changed.”
AR Rahman also noted that he didn’t attend college at that time, and there was a time when he felt like he was lacking something.
The music maestro mentioned, “When I was 12, I was vibing with people in their 40s and 50s. My boredom led me to listen to many other things, to explore what was there on the other side. That side was spectacular for me. There was so much out there.”

Previously director AR Rahman also shared the experience of working with him, “ All artistes have this gift but Rahman has this overwhelming gift of subconsciously grasping what you want to talk about (in the movie). The kind of music that he plays in the movie and where he chooses to place them match exactly what I had in mind. He is not just a music director. He loves to work on the film too. He is a co-storyteller with me, especially for this film. That’s why the music never comes in the way of the narrative in Amar Singh Chamkila.”
