After that, A.R. rahman made his debut as a music composer in the 1990s. Rahman, like ilayaraja, rose to become a nationally admired composer and oscar winner. Today, even though the netizens are often fighting over whether ilayaraja or AR Rahman, ilayaraja and AR rahman continue to express their respect and love for each other on public platforms. AR rahman has opened up about what he learned from Ilayaraja.
In an earlier interview with a private media, AR rahman was asked what is the thing that he learned from ilayaraja that is most useful in life till today. A.R. rahman responded to this by saying a certain generation has created a stigma by teaching that a musician is a drunkard, takes drugs, hangs around with women, and does not have a proper career. A situation has developed that if you are a musician or a singer, don't go to that side. He saw this for the first time with ilayaraja sir at such a time. He breaks this stigma and sits like a preacher. He will not bend down. He will not hesitate. There will be no other bad habits. Only music. Respect his music. That thing still affected AR Rahman.He will not have any guns. But everyone will tremble at the sight of him. This thing about him really attracted him. Then when he became a composer, he took this in his own way. He got so much respect in the studio. Whoever he call sends their housemaids to the studio to record at 3 am. He considers this a blessing. He learned this from gurus like Ilayaraja.AR rahman and Maragathamani, who were introduced by director K. balachander as an alternative to ilayaraja in tamil cinema, have won Oscars But this interview of A.R. rahman is intended to respond to a group of people who have been joking on the internet about the past few days saying that ilayaraja could not get it.
