Background notes
Archive material and source history
A.R. Rahman was born in Chennai, India in 1967. His father, R.K. Shekhar, was a film composer who gave him early guidance. Rahman's breakthrough came in 1992 when he composed the score for the Tamil film 'Roja,' blending Indian classical traditions with Western pop elements in a way that caught attention.
His work on the 2008 film 'Slumdog Millionaire' brought him wider international recognition. The soundtrack included 'Jai Ho,' which later became 'Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)' in a collaboration with The Pussycat Dolls. Other songs like 'Gangsta Blues' and 'Aaj Ki Raat' show his range across different projects.
Rahman has worked with filmmakers including Mani Ratnam and Shekhar Kapur. His career has included some legal disputes over copyright, which he has denied. He continues to compose, maintaining a presence in both Indian and international music.
