Oscar-winner A.R. Rahman is one of the most respected and celebrated musicians in the world. The musician has created countless iconic tracks for the Indian music industry including 'Urvasi Urvasi', 'Jai Ho', 'Masakali', 'Muqabla', and 'Mustafa Mustafa' among others. Over the years, several musicians have made remakes of his songs as well. In an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Hungama, A.R. Rahman spoke about how he feels when people copy his original songs.
While talking about what he thinks about people copying his songs and composition, he said, "People know that now, you know whether it is beat or sound, there are such smart people out there and they want to bring you down. In that era, they thought they can get away with it but it was exclusively shot. In a way, it was flattering for me because copying is definitely flattery. At the same time, I did not want to waste my time going behind people for that because there were other people to take care of that stuff. My goal was always to refine myself and go forward and forward and never let any negative things go into my mind whether it is greed or anything. There is so much to do in music that don’t waste your time in hatred, greed, and jealousy. You can go march and just make another tune, make another progression, make another rhythm or story. That is my mantra."
Meanwhile, A.R. Rahman recently collaborated with singer Ananya Birla for the track ‘Hindustani Way’, which is a tribute to the Indian team representing at the Tokyo Olympics 2020.
