ARR: One man, 4 cities, innumerable fans!

This best sums up the music legend of India Allah Rakha Rahman. People all over the globe have started looking at India, especially in the music and sound perspective. The music wiz who has been busy ever since he scored the music for his first film Roja has become busier now.
Post the twin Oscars, Rahman has been getting quite a lot of offers from Hollywood. So it has become official now that the Mozart of Madras will now set a firm base in Los Angeles that is supposed to be the main base for Hollywood.
The musician, confirming his stay in Los Angeles, said he has been looking for a place of stay and now he will have four teams in four cities namely Chennai, Los Angeles, Mumbai and London.
Thanks to the demand post the Oscars the composer has been literally living out of his suitcases. Apart from the busy schedule of making music in India as well as abroad he also has his KM Conservatory, his music school to take care of.
We have seen a steady decline in the number of films ARR is doing in India now apart from the Kamal Hassan project Marmayogi and Mani Rathnams Raavan. Reports indicate that Vince Vaughan has approached Rahman to do music for his Hollywood film.
Great going ARR sir! Despite the number of Hollywood flicks lining at your doors we hope you lend you musical quotient to India as well!
