Whether it is a box of lies, or a Pandora box of mischief but certainly it has slung the mud to one of the premier music composer who has been on top of the game from last 20 years and has never been into blame game or part of mudslinging.
At a press conference in Nagpur, Ismail Darbar suddenly spilled the beans which will keep the newswallahs behind him for at least a week.
Darbar spoke to Mid-Day about his allegations, he said, “Rahman is a very good businessman, he knows how to handle his public relations. I will yet again say that he has bought the Oscar.
Also, I would like to add that the songs, that he claims to have composed, are not even his! He is just a fantastic salesperson.
I have proof that Jai Ho is not his. It has been done by someone else. All the big film-makers like Subhash Ghai, Mani Rathnam know about it.
But none of them have the guts to come out and speak up, because Rahman is a big name. If he has guts, let him come out and prove me wrong.
I have proofs of him having stolen credit from someone else. I can show those proofs if need be.
Even when Devdas and Saathiya were up for National Awards for music, Saathiya, the music for which is composed by Rahman, won.
First of all, a dubbed movie is never given National Awards. Then, how did Saathiya get it? It is not that I am talking now. I have wanted to talk about this forever. It is just that no one ever asked me about it.”
Although Darbar says that no one has ever asked him earlier but what prompted him to say all these when again no one really would have asked him about the same?
Ramhan’s team member Vijay Iyer laughs away the allegations, saying, “If somebody wants to comment on Rahman, they can. It is a free country.
AR has been sincere to his fans and his music since the last twenty years.
If someone says he has bought the Oscars, how does he explain his Oscar nomination for 127 Hours? We are all proud of everything he has done.”
