In the latest twist in the tale, Ismail Darbar who has accused AR Rahman for buying the Oscars in 2008 has taken a big ‘U’ turn after knowing that Academy is planning to sue the musician for USD 50,000 million.

As soon as rumors reached to Darbar’s ears he turned his ways and now says, he is ready to apologize to the Oscars.

The musician had indicted Rahman, saying that the maestro has paid for the awards which he received in 2008 for Best Original Score and Best Original Song in Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire.

Following which Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences are rumored of proceeding to sue Darbar.

Now Darbar says, he has nothing against Academy Awards but he wanted to wake up his friend Rahman for churning out inferior music in the last one year. Darbar should look into himself for the same, what music he has composed so far in his career?

Darbar said in a leading tabloid, “I am grateful that I have been respected in the industry for my work. I did say some things about Rahman, because as a friend I want to jolt him out of his reverie and start giving good music.

I chose a public platform to do it, because he wouldn’t listen to me otherwise. I have nothing against the Oscars.

It is the most respected award, the whole world acknowledges it, and I do, too. If any of them (Academy) are hurt by my comments, I apologise to them.”

It seems Darbar has realized that this is hurting his reputation and he might run out of the work for his indecent comments over fellow musician, who everyone respects.

“I am not scared. The truth is, I realise that those people who respected me for my work, might misunderstand me and think I am baddimag (arrogant person).

Also, the fact is, I can have nothing against the Oscar panel or those behind the awards. My issue was with Rahman and I guess he’s got the message by now,” Darbar added.

You know Mr. Ismail Darbar who is arrogant, isn’t it?
