He described their fast-paced relationship, Berry proposed after five months as strained by long-distance, demanding careers, and immaturity.

AR Rahman finds more creative freedom in Tamil cinema than Hindi films, says Ranjit Barot: ‘It's a shame Bollywood doesn't make more use of his genius'
AR Rahman's long-time collaborator and celebrated musician Ranjit Barot has shed light on the Oscar-winning composer's extraordinary dedication and how it has propelled him to the top of the music world. In a recent interview, Barot stressed that while Rahman is undoubtedly blessed, his success is primarily the result of tireless effort. He explained that people often attribute Rahman's achievements to divine blessing, but to him, blessing means recognising a gift and then working on it with complete commitment. 'We're all blessed in some way,' Barot told O2India, adding that Rahman has been working almost 24/7 for the last 40 years, a level of discipline that truly defines what it means to be blessed. He also recalled how destiny played its part when Ilaiyaraaja turned down Roja, giving Rahman the opportunity to step in, but insisted that 'the rest is all his hard work.' Ranjit Barot on AR Rahman's genius Barot also reflected on how the Hindi film industry may not be giving Rahman the same creative freedom he once enjoyed. While he acknowledged Rahman's Chennai roots, he pointed out that the composer's repertoire spans much more than just Carnatic music — from Sufi and ghazals to North Indian classical influences. In his view, it's a shame that Bollywood doesn't fully tap into Rahman's genius, remarking that 'in Chennai, they allow him to be who he is, and he's happy with it.

‘AR Rahman doesn't need Hindi cinema anymore, he gets more creative freedom in Chennai,' says Ranjit Barot
AR Rahman's long-time collaborator and celebrated musician Ranjit Barot recently opened up about the Oscar-winning composer's unmatched work ethic and how his relentless dedication helped shape his journey to the top. In a conversation with O2India, Ranjit shared, 'I think he's blessed, but I don't like to put too much weight on that, because it takes away from the hard work he's put in. Everyone says, 'He's blessed, he's blessed.' But what is blessing, really? To me, it's acknowledging that you've been touched by a pure force, and then working on it. We're all blessed in some way, but the real question is: what are we doing with it? Everyone has a different path and a different journey. He does what he does because, in a way, he has been working like this 24/7 for 40 years. That's what you call being blessed. Blessing isn't just a label. Yes, we all feel blessed in some way, and yes, in our karmic journey, he has grown to this level. He has worked for many lifetimes to become this person, and then he happens to be in the right place at the right time. The fact that Ilaiyaraaja said no to Roja and Rahman grabbed the opportunity, these things definitely helped him. But the rest is all his hard work.'

'Now, yes, currently. There was a time when Hindi film directors were given the same amount of freedom. But now, he doesn't really need the Hindi cinema scene that much; he's beyond all that. Yes, he's originally from Chennai, so his roots are there. But having said that, he's not just some Carnatic musician, he's a Sufi musician. He can do ghazals, he can do North Indian music, he's a classical-based composer, and he's very clued into the North Indian system. It's a shame that the Hindi film industry doesn't make more use of his genius — that's their loss. In Chennai, they allow him to be who he is, and he's happy with it.' Recently, AR Rahman composed the music for the blockbuster Chhava and for Mani Ratnam's latest film, Thug Life. While Chhava was become one of the highest grossers of the year, Thug Life unfortunately failed to leave a mark at the ticket window.
