The real reason why A R Rahman gets less work in Bollywood

Not gangeism, or groupism. If the composing wizard A R Rahman is kept out of Bollywood’s bastion it is because of his insistence on publishing rights. A top-notch musician spills the beans. “There was a time when every major director in Bollywood wanted to work with A R Rahman. They still do. But there is a problem. Rahman insists on retaining the publishing rights of his soundtracks. This right, no producer would give to any musician, at least not in India.” The musician who has worked with the biggest banners says Rahman is wrong to blame a ‘gang’ in Bollywood for his relative scarcity of work. “Way back in 2003 Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar offered  Kal Ho Na Ho  to Rahman. When he asked for publishing rights they quickly signed Shankar-Ehaan-Loy for Kal Ho Na Ho.  And Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions never worked with Rahman.” The musician says there is nothing unfair about this. “Cinema is a business like any other. Why shouldn’t Karan Johar safeguard his busines...

Rumi Jaffery on Sushant Singh Rajput’s father’s FIR

Writer-director Rumi Jaffery who was close to both Sushant Singh Rajput and Rhea Chakraborty says the latest sudden development in the case has left him stunned and shocked. “When I heard that Sushant’s father has filed an FIR in Patna against Rhea and her family, I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t sleep the whole night. Dil kehta hai yeh nahin ho sakta . But then I think of Sushant’s grieving father. He hasn’t spoken about the issue since his son’s death. Why would he suddenly speak up if it wasn’t the truth? I am very confused. I didn’t sleep the night after Sushant’s father’s FIR,” says Rumi. Did Rumi ever see any tension between Sushant and Rhea? “I met them as an outsider. We spoke only about films. What goes on between a couple is known only to the two people in a relationship. I say, let the law takes it course. Let’s not speculate on Rhea’s guilt or non-guilt.” Shekhar Suman, a vocal supporter of the campaign to get justice for Sushant says, “The development was inevitable. T...
