I've never watched Trainspotting. I just know it's a very critically acclaimed film. In fact, I've never watched any of Danny's movies [means before he met him]. I just worked with him and felt the energy of what he is about initially before I do something. In a way, I think that's why we have discovered each other rather than replicate something else.
A. R. RahmanIf music wakes you up, makes you think, heals you...then, I guess the music is working.
A. R. RahmanI think I would like to discover a new root where people don't get bored with people singing boring lines but something exciting. That'd be interesting.
A. R. RahmanThere have been predictions that the world will come to an end on 21.12.12. But I look around me and I see so much scope for hope.
A. R. RahmanMusic is language itself. It should not have any barriers of caste, creed, language or anything. Music is one, only cultures are different. Music is the language of languages. It is the ultimate mother of languages.
A. R. RahmanThat's the sound design. I watched it sixty times because we were constantly tweaking. The same thing comes twice, right? Once it comes in the beginning when he's about to discover that he needs to come out and one is the dream where he's flattered (??) and then he comes out. The last one, instead of going bigger, we made it smaller. We removed elements and thinned it out. So it doesn't drive him. He drives the music rather than the other way around.
