[raghavendran]

With AR Rahman's latest Hollywood offering, 127 Hours, with Danny Boyle, making the headlines these days, there's no doubt that the Mozart of Madras has become hot property abroad as well.

However, the ace music composer maintains that composing for Indian movies will always be his priority.

So, when the music composer was asked about his favourites among the songs that he has composed so far, without batting an eyelid, ARR said that Narumugaye... (Iruvar), Ennavale Adi Ennavale... (Kadhalan), Margazhi Thingal Allava... (Sangamam), Kadhal Theenda... (Udhaya) and Veerapandi Kottayile... (Thiruda Thiruda) were his top picks in Tamil.

Looks like Rahman is one of the few artistes who don't forget their roots despite soaring high!

A. R. Rahman irks media

We all know that A. R. Rahman is reclusive with the media as a whole, but when it comes to interacting with the Indian media, he becomes totally inaccessible.

This is what happened recently during the launch of the debut album of singer Srinivas, who has won the Tamil Nadu state best singer award twice.

The double Oscar winning composer attended the function and stood by his disciple Srinivas during the launch, encouraging him. But when it came to talking to mediapersons, who were waiting for around three hours to speak with him, Rahman sneaked out from the backdoor. His manager said that he had an important appointment because of which he could not wait.

The album is a collection of ghazals and is a revival of a few popular numbers sung by the Pakistani ghazal maestro Mehdi Hassan. Rahman, who is the mentor of the singer, said: "When Srinivas joined me as a singer I was surprised to know that he had given up a job that fetched him Rs. 25,000 per month. I was apprehensive about what I would tell his family if he did not succeed as a singer. But today I feel extremely happy and proud to see Srinivas having scaled such heights of success."

Talking about his debut album, Rahman said: "It's very difficult to do justice to Mehdi Hassan songs. I am sure that people will appreciate his work." Even superstar Rajnikant is fond of Sriram, who has sung more than thousand songs in both Hindi and Tamil films.
