AR Rahman is one of the most talented and respects musicians not only in India but globally. He has won several international awards including the Academy Award for his brilliant compositions. However, the musician recently revealed that despite working on films like `127 Hours`, `Million Dollar Arm`, and `Pele`, he got pigeonholed in Hollywood.
In an interview with Forbes, Rahman spoke about his directorial debut `Le Musk` and how he wanted to experiment with his creative process and new technologies in the market. "As an Indian composer, winning an Oscar and all that stuff, there is a pigeonhole you are put into. ‘Oh Indian stuff, let’s go to AR!’ Even though I have done 127 Hours, Pele and other stuff but still the urge… There’s nothing bad with that. I am doing a lot of Indian movies. I love doing Indian movies. I am proud. But I also love to do something that is completely unrelated to India, as a creative expression. To get those is very difficult in Hollywood, all the places are already taken," Rahman said in the interview. `Le Musk` is a film about an orphaned heiress and musician who is on the trail of three mysterious men with distinct scents.
