Indian Superstar Rahman Returns to Hong Kong

Source: hkfilmart.com

Indian superstar musician A.R. Rahman came back to Hong Kong not just for the shopping and to prepare his first concert in the city, but because he's hoping to write music for more Chinese-language films.
I'm a big fan of Chinese films, said Rahman, who has composed scores for more than 50 films, including Warriors of Heaven and Earth , directed by He Ping. I'm open to the possibility of doing it again, he said. If they want my music, and if there's a good script.

He cited Raise the Red Lantern and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon amongst his favorites. So when offered the chance to make the leap from Middle to Far Eastern cinema he didn't hesitate. I jumped on it, he said.

Sporting a newly shaven head (part of the cleansing ritual following his recent pilgrimage to Mecca) Rahman was, in person, shy and softly-spoken, unlike the glamorous image of him one might imagine from the posters adorning buses all over the island. He was, nonetheless, quite talkative when it came to the topic and music and Hong Kong cinema.

Although the language barrier provided some initial problems when composing for Warriors , Rahman got a translator and focused on the pan-Asian qualities of the movie. The film is based on the Silk Road, and has elements of Turkish, Indian, Buddhist and Chinese culture .
