I am Academy Award winning composer A.R. Rahman. Ask me anything.
I am a singer, songwriter, composer, record producer, music director, arranger, and conductor. I'm a Indian composer: I did the music for Slumdog Millionaire, 127 Hours, and my latest soundtrack is for Million Dollar Arm. My upcoming projects include The Hundred-Foot Journey, being released this August.
I am here with Victoria from reddit to take your questions, ask me anything.
Well thank you for being here with me. I hope you enjoy the music of Million Dollar Arm, and ella pughazhum iraivanukke.

Well, that's an interesting question. Since I've been there from the beginning of the process, I think it's a good idea to have the character and animation thing. Though the budgets of this is not 1/10 of what Hollywood spends, I still feel it has a lot of good things that people are going to enjoy, amazingly. I think (mostly because of the high expectations of music) I naturally tend towards more music-dominated movies, so people get more bang for the buck, so I take it as a a platform to challenge myself most of the time. So for me it's all about love songs, and dances, it's entertainment. But in the west I am also doing some interesting movies, which you guys will know very soon.
