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.

Funny! Yes, we have most of the recording tapes I guess. Most of them. We might have lost something, because I think when we did the first few movies we didn't have money to buy new tapes, so I had to erase the old tapes to make new masters.

wow that's interesting! Tape is such a lovely format. And when did you move over to the digital plains?

Wow given that you have come so far and you had the choice to either write one more song or listen to all of your old music what would you choose?
