Re: [arr] Rahman interview in Sunday Mid-day - 'I'm yet to be paid for Mangal Pandey'
It is really disappointing when an article such as this include some fascintaing details about ARR and at the same time include this whole Bedi's story which is very unlikely of ARR sharing in public...I personally dismiss this entire article as baseless...just because I trust ARR's integrity in not making such matters public..

Re: [arr] Rahman interview in Sunday Mid-day - 'I'm yet to be paid for Mangal Pandey'
I am suprised also that he actually talked about this. But then, if the story is true then the explaination is befitting and tells of the practical difficulties musicians face when they compose for a film and put so much hard work into it and they never get proper financial recognition for their work. Bobby bedi is known as a respected producer and is considering ARR for the Mahabharata, so I dont know whether he would risk not paying.but then again stranger things have happened and if the quotes are correct then ARR is nothing but fair in mentioning that four months work was no rewarded in totality.

Then... it is officially confirmed that ARR keeps track of this yahoo group. It's good to see. And I think ARR should take care when giving interview's to newsparpers like midday which are famous for giving notorious news titles in front pages and glamourising the small issues. He should be calm when giving such expressions, otherwise anti-rahmaniacs will ruin his credibility in future. And anyway, these days he is more closer to northern people after succes of RDB. regards Avinash Explore, Experience, Enjoy A.R.Rahman - The Man, The Music, The Magic.
