G.V Prakash- Music director/Rahman`s nephew I am extremely happy, in fact the happiest Indian today. Rahman is the costliest diamond in the world. No one can match his hard work and commitment to work and he has been doing this since Roja days when he made his debut as a music director. I have no words to express my state of mind. Our family owes it all to the blessings of God and our elders. Rahman does not work for awards, recognition or to be in the lime light and I strongly believe that people who are spiritual, follow the path chosen by God and works hard will remain humble and down-to-earth. He should have won Oscars much early but nevertheless- its better late than never. Asin I am a proud Indian. My two films- Godfather and Ghajini had music by Rahman and my next film 19 Steps directed by Bharath Bala will have music by the maestro. He never ceases to surprise you at regular intervals and there is no stopping this music legend. Its very difficult to tell you my favourite album, but Ennavalae.. from the Tamil film Kathalanused to be my personal pick. And now it is Masabkali… from Delhi 6. Gautham Menon “I was hundred percent sure that Rahman would win the Oscars and went ahead and gave advertisements in the newspapers a day before. The man is so humble, simple and he truly deserves this recognition. I am a huge fan of his and pick up any album irrespective of who is the director of the film. It’s a tribute to all the work he has done so far. I watched the Oscars and thought that the first award was well-deserved and the second one was double whammy for his millions of fans. I got Goosebumps while watching him perform. And talking about Resul Pookutty and the kind of work that he has done in our films is amazing, especially in Gandhi My Father. It’s really overwhelming to see an Indian flavour at the Kodak theatre”. Rahman makes music out of silence. He is so quiet and I knew him right from his early struggling days and consider him as my son or brother. I wish his dad R.K Sekhar was alive to see this historic and glorious moment of his son winning an Oscar. I have sung a lot of Malayalam songs under the baton of Sekhar, and was also privileged to sing under his son Rahman. I think Rahman is going to be a role model for the youth of this country as he has proved that hard work and determination is the road to success. Mohanlal Rahman and Resul Pookutty, both truly deserved to get the Oscars. It was a great moment while I watched the Oscars on Television. I have worked for 2 films with Rahman and both had outstanding songs. He is a wizard, a genius, better than the best. And it’s not a joke for Resul to compete with technicians of the world cinema to get the Oscar. sMadhavan `It is an unbelievable moment for India and personally for me it is a great day as I`m a big fan of Rahman and his music. I also wish Resul Pookutty all the best”
