Yes it is three crore per song which is very high in the country. It is not Sid Sriram who charges in lakhs. Here the music director sings and charges in crores per song.
Even with his remuneration being this high, people go out of their way to have the Academy Award-winning music director in their movies.
It also has to be noted that this may also be a significant reason why AR Rahman mostly sings only for the movies that he composes.
The composer has been reigning over the Indian music scene for the past 30 years. Ever since he made his debut as a music director in the 1992 film Roja, directed by Mani Ratnam the music director has not looked back.
He has constantly updated with the times and made changes to the way he makes music. His will to constantly evolve with the music that is relevant at the moment can be a big reason why he is still the first priority for music directors.
Now his son and daughter are also singing. His daughter is into music direction also. Rahman is having a music college and he is teaching and training the students.
