First authorized biography of A.R.Rahman to release in 2010

9th June, 2009 </td> </tr> <tr> <td>
</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Since 1992 when A R Rahman was remarked for his extraordinary musical talent in Roja, his music has come to captivate music lovers all over India who have no hesitation in showing their passion for his work, equalled by their respect for his way of thinking and admiration for how lightly and modestly he wears his success.
The best Indian directors want him as he gives life to film scenes through his melodic and exhilarating songs. Through his background scores, he has unlocked the doors to a sophisticated understanding of sound perspective in Indian cinema. He is an unstoppable talent and it isn’t surprising that he was chosen to compose for international stage and cinema productions. And while most world composers dream of winning an Oscar — Rahman made India and his millions of fans proud by walking away with two Oscars in one night.

A.R.Rahman — The Spirit of Music, the only authorized biography, will be presented in the form of a ‘book of conversations’ between A R Rahman and Nasreen Munni Kabir. Despite the fact that he has already made himself a place in musical history and enjoys extraordinary international success, Rahman is a deeply private person who shies away from glitz and glamour. This book will provide a rare chance to discover A R Rahman, in his own words, as he takes us on a journey through his life and world of music.
Notes on the author: Documentary filmmaker/writer Nasreen Munni Kabir has written several books on Indian cinema, including Guru Dutt, a life in cinema, Talking Films/Talking Songs with Javed Akhtar, The Immortal Dialogue of Mughal-e-Azam and most recently,Lata Mangeshkar…in her own voice. She has also made the documentaries The Inner/Outer World of Shah Rukh Khan.
