AR Rahman talks about working with Majid Majidi

AR Rahman, who is elated with the release of Muhammad: The Messenger of God, talks about his working experience with the acclaimed Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi. “It still hasn’t sunk in that the movie has released. The movie was in the making for the past six to seven years. I know how the director nurtured it with attention to details.  I learned a lot in the process working with a master director like him. We recorded the music across five countries including India, Iran, Germany, France and Egypt with 200 musicians and it has been mixed in Chennai. I think this is one of my most daring attempts at composing,” says ARR.

The film, which premiered in Montreal,  has opened to rave reviews from critics. Billed as the costliest film to ever come out of Iran, the film revolves around the life of Prophet Muhammad.

AR Rahman’s upcoming albums in Tamil include Achcham Yenbathu Madamaiyada and 24.
