One of the key reasons why you love Indian cinema is due to the songs, the colors and above all, the music. Perhaps ours is the only country which comes up with different genres of music and has carved a unique identity of its own. Due credit goes to the music directors who have contributed so well.
Some of them have also gone international and first in that list is the Mozart of Madras A R Rahman. Having won an Oscar and Grammy, Rahman is leagues ahead but now he is stepping into Tollywood for the first time. Sources reveal the remuneration for A R Rahman in Telugu is 4 crores.
So, for the movie Saahasam Swasaga Saagipo Rahman is composing the tunes. As such, when Rahman is in a project, the pre release hype and buzz is strong. Only middle to above middle range movies can afford him. The small budget movies cannot afford him. Instead, a full fledged movie can be made with Rahman’s remuneration.
