Ismail Darbar must have thought when he will accuse AR Rahman for bribing the Oscars officials he will retreat or react as someone stung by a bee but Rahman as always looked unperturbed by the allegation has modestly replied when asked about it, “It’s a free country and everyone is entitled to their opinion.”

Rahman is been busy with the music of Rajnikanth starrer ‘Rana’. “I have completed three songs in the film. The title song ‘Enge Poguthe Vaanam, Ange Pogirom Naam…’ is sung by S P Balasubramaniam. I will resume work on the album soon after the ailing Superstar returns hale and hearty from Singapore. I recently met him at the hospital in Chennai and had a brief chat with him. Rajinikanth has had a major influence on my life and I am a huge fan of his. I wish him a speedy recovery,” told Rahman to a leading daily.

The maestro has also completed the music of Ranbir Kapoor starrer ‘Rockstar’. “The soundtrack is ready. The film might not be based on rock music, but it’s about the experiences of a man and elements that change his life, with rock in the backdrop. Ranbir used to frequent the studio and keenly observe me while I was composing the music. Besides, I have also signed another project with Yash Raj,” he added.

With so much of successful work, it becomes obvious to attract envy!

In Ismail’s Darbar: Rahman is a Thief!! https://www.bollywoodnites.com/2011/05/31/in-ismails-darbar-rahman-is-a-thief/ https://www.bollywoodnites.com/2011/05/31/in-ismails-darbar-rahman-is-a-thief/#respond Tue, 31 May 2011 06:36:39 +0000 http://www.bollywoodnites.com/?p=4801

It looks to be an accusation and simply it could be. Bollywood has a trend of accusing each other when it comes to music and lyrics more often than a story and its plot. The latest to hit the bolt from behind is Ismail Darbar, who has accused Academy Award winner AR Rahman of bribing the Oscar’s jury and stealing credit for works which he has not done.

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.”
