Oscar-winning music composer A.R. Rahman recently shared his observations on the significant changes within the Hindi film industry over the past eight years, indicating a noticeable reduction in his work. In an interview with BBC Asian Network, Rahman attributed this shift primarily to a change in power dynamics, where he believes "people who are not creative have the power now" to make decisions. Furthermore, Rahman alluded to the possibility of a "communal thing" influencing these changes, though he clarified that this was not something he experienced directly but rather heard through "Chinese whispers." He expressed that he is not actively seeking work, preferring for his sincerity to attract projects. This sentiment was echoed across various credible Indian news outlets, including The Times of India, The Indian Express, India Today, and Hindustan Times, all of which corroborated his statements. Rahman also reflected on his earlier career, mentioning that despite his initial successes with films like 'Roja' and 'Bombay', he felt like an outsider in Bollywood until Subhash Ghai's 'Taal' made his music a household name in North India. The news has drawn considerable attention, as a figure of Rahman's stature openly discusses such sensitive industry issues.
