After winning two Academy Awards, AR Rahman's brand value has skyrocketed to Rs.10 crore. Sources in the industry are saying that the Indian composer and musician has recently bagged an offer from Apple for this sum, which insiders indicate is around Rs.8 crore more than what he was getting previously.
A source told the DNA, "It is being hugely gossiped in the circuit that Rahman is being offered by international companies a sum of something around Rs.10 crore. He certainly has become the most sought-after celeb in the ad world if he is getting such a high figure. The Oscars is the reason behind this." However, a close aide of Rahman states, "This news is highly speculative. It is true that Rahman is associated with Apple, but that's because T Selvakumar (who is the managing director of Rahman's KM Music Conservatory) is associated with Apple." Meanwhile, AR Rahman featured on the Filmfare Power List at No.8. http://www.planetradiocity.com/musicreporter/gossip.php?gossipid=1030 <http://www.planetradiocity.com/musicreporter/gossip.php?gossipid=1030>
