The world was changing and the distance between producing a movie and being a composer shortened because of me being in Hollywood, involved in Broadway. I also feel there’s another part of the world, a part of life that needs to be told, and in a way I see it, a part of society, a part of the musical sensibilities.” With this film, Rahman sees a chance to do something different. “We may succeed or not, but at least we’re trying,” he said.
