Though I knew through Khaleel (technical support man to Rahman) that he is having a difficult time and has been left sick after returning from US now this is in media all over. News:
He returned home to a kind of hysterical fanfare that exhausted and alarmed him. Rahman has been beleaguered by a blitzkrieg of attention. He is finding it tough to cope with all the adulation. Suffering from serious fatigue the maestro has decided to go completely underground for a while.
After cancelling his work-related trip to London, Rahman has now disappeared from his home in Chennai to destinations unknown. Presumably he has surfaced in Bengaluru . But none of his close family and friends are telling his fans, admirers and the media about his whereabouts. A close friend, on condition of anonymity, spilled the beans. “All the international and national attention finally got to Rahman. He is essentially a very very shy artiste. All he cares about is God and his music, in that order. He doesn't talk about anything else. Going on stage and being the cynosure of thousands of eyes is death for him. He went into hiding with only his God and music for company.”
Inaccessible at the moment to all but his closest family members, Rahman reluctantly replied to persistent queries about his health. He said, “I am just recovering from all the exhaustion.”
The question is, how will this media-shy genius cope with all the demands on his time and attention that are bound to be showered on him? A producer who has worked with Rahman followed him all the way to Bengaluru to sign him for his next project, but he refused to meet him.

Arun
we shall use this dhaaga to discuss A R Rahman music. There are quite a lot of his good output from Tamil I haven't heard, I request you to pls post them here.
And now we have so many fans in India depressed because you will be working here for a less here. (Laughs) Honestly, after Bombay Dreams I had scope to do work outside but never used the opportunity. I was not ready then - not that I am ready now! (Chuckles) - but I came back here then and as it happened did some pretty ordinary work! But now I want to work there - for me, it’s more about developing relationships, collaborating, culturally connecting and doing the right organic stuff. I have an agent there and have taken up one major assignment that I can reveal only after a while because of a non-disclosure clause in my contract. All I can say is that it is a proper American film that will also demand music of the kind that I am at home with.
And what are the Indian films in your bag? I have Anthony D’Souza’s Blue, Mani Ratnam’s Ravan, Abbas Tyrewala’s 1 - 800 - Love and one more film. In Chennai. I have Robot and the animation film Sultan with Rajnikanth and a film with Gautham Menon.
Here's one of absolute favourites. It's called 'En Kaadhale', from the film Duet (1994). The album was special because ARR got to work with the famous saxophonist, Kadri Gopalnath, here. Love each song in this album, but this is my favourite. Superb composition, beautiful lyrics, some divine Sax interludes and flawless singing by SPB.
