Musicians are winners, not failures, says A R Rahman

Mumbai, Sep 12 Filmmakers generally show the rags to riches story in biopics of sports personalities, however music maestro A R Rahman says he neglects to comprehend why musicians are regularly delineated as losers on the big screen.

Rahman feels people are only interested in making biopics on performers, who have had a terrible existence.

"I think people are interested to do biopics on fizzled people or failed musicians who pass on of neediness or medication habit," the artist told.

"Indeed, even abroad in the event that you take a gander at 'Inside Llewyn Davis', the Coen siblings movie, it is about how a guy fails, is disillusioned, is a drug addict, and gets thrown out of the house. Along these lines, that recognition needs to go. Performers are not losers, they are champs," he says.

Rahman says in his as of late released film "One Heart: The AR Rahman Concert Film", they discuss "celebrating music and not about failures or remorses."

He says in the event that he ever has the chance to make a biopic on somebody from the universe of music, he would bring Bismillah Khan and Ravi Shankar's life on celluloid.

"There are many people (from the world of music on whom a biopic can be made) however the issue is you can't recreate what the people did. Like Bismillah Khan saab, you can't have a shehnai player like him, you can utilize the chronicle. Likewise a biopic on Ravi Shankar, they are celebrated Bharat Ratnas," Rahman says.

In the mean time, the Oscar-winning performer has been restricted in to make the music for the biopic on Bruce Lee, which is being coordinated by Academy Award named producer Shekhar Kapur.

"It is a test as Shekhar expects a ton. I am anticipating it."

As per reports, the film will be a contemporary sensation of the 1950s Hong Kong social and political powers that made Bruce Lee a renowned combative techniques star and a cutting edge logician.
