Even after getting the Oscars, A R Rehman is not finding work in Bollywood. The music director said there is a “whole gang working against me,” during a recent interview. Shekar Kapur reached out to the Dil Bechara music direction on Twitter. Sharing a snippet from the interview, Kapur said that the root cause of his problems is Rahman’s Oscar dual victories. Kapur tweeted, “You know what your problem is @arrahman ? You went and got #Oscars.” He deemed the Oscar as “kiss of death”. “An Oscar is the kiss of death in Bollywood. It proves you have more talent than Bollywood can handle.”
For the unversed, the musician bagged two Academy Awards for Slumdog Millionaire – Best Original Song and Best Original Music Score. In response to Shekhar, Rahman said, “Lost Money comes back, fame comes back, but the wasted prime time of our lives will never come back. Peace! Let’s move on. We have greater things to do.”
