AR Rehman the music icon in his book stated that he had suicidal thoughts till the age of 25. He lost his father at an early age and worked with many composers till he got the opportunity for Roja from Maniratnam the ace director. He got many films but did a few films and did not want to grab everything that came his way.
For Rehman his family is everything. He likes travelling apart from composing the music. His studio is in his backyard. He became a confident man after constructing the music studio. Rehman says he needs to dive deep within to get the right chord for music composing. That is the reason he works in the night and early in the morning.
With Roja, Rahman has changed the process of recording. He could do music with the newcomers, old singers and also people like Latha Mangeshkar who are legends.
He was Dilip Kumar but later changed himself to Rahman. His music is never-ending. But after 25 Rahman became strong by the day. He was climbing the steps one after the other and became fearless. Then he made a turnaround and at 51 he is a complete man.
