Waiting for the big O
If there’s one Indian in recent times whose work has seemed destined to win an Oscar, it is A.R. Rahman, 42, born A.S. Dileep Kumar and surrounded by music from the day he was born.
His father is the late R. Shekhar, a music composer for Malayalam films. In the 1970s, the family converted to Islam — and Allah Rakha Rahman was born.
Reinvention has been a key motif in Rahman’s artistry, from an Airtel tune to theatre and movies, both masala and international.
The last including, of course, Slumdog Millionaire.
Now that a Golden Globe tops a clutch of other international awards for Slumdog…, Rahman is poised just short of the big O, the world’s most recognised symbol of cinematic excellence.
