Kangana Ranaut's Team REACTS To AR Rahman’s Gang 'Spreading False Rumours' Claim: ‘Everyone Experiences Harassment When..’

AR Rahman, in his interview, said that the a gang is spreading rumours about him in the film industry.

New Delhi: AR Rahman, who is considered as one of the greatest music directors in India, revealed the reason why he is doing fewer Hindi films these days. The Academy Award winner composed the music for Sushant Singh Rajput’s last film ‘Dil Bechara’, which premiered on Disney+ Hotstar on July 24. The music maestro, while interacting with Radio Mirchi, said that there is a gang which is spreading rumours about him. The ‘Mozart of Madras’ opened up on his fewer collaborations in Bollywood as compared to South cinema and shared a recent incident. He said that people are expecting him to do things but there is a gang which is preventing him from doing so. “I don’t say no to good movies, but I think there is a gang, which, due to misunderstandings, is spreading some false rumours. When Mukesh Chhabra came to me, I gave him four songs in two days. He told me, ‘Sir, how many people said don’t go, don’t go to him (AR Rahman) and they told me stories after stories.’ I heard that, and I realised, yeah okay, now I understand why I am doing less (work in Hindi films) and why the good movies are not coming to me. I am doing dark movies, because there is a whole gang working against me, without them knowing that they are doing harm,” Rahman was quoted as saying by Times Of India. Kangana Ranaut has been quite vocal about the treatment of outsiders in Bollywood in the wake of Sushant Singh Rajput’s demise. In her explosive interview with a news channel, the ‘Queen’ actress blasted the ‘movie mafia’ for ruining her chances of getting married. She also alleged that the biggies tried to sabotage SSR’s career. Kangana’s digital team responded to AR Rahman's interview on Twitter and said that people experience harassment when they become ‘totally independent’ in the industry. “Everyone experiences harassment and bullying in this industry especially when you act autonomous and become totally independent,” the tweet read.

Talking about AR Rahman, his songs in ‘Dil Bechara’ has received a good response from the fans. The music director co-wrote and produced the film ’99 Songs’, which was screened at the 24^th Busan International Film Festival.
