.R.Rahman's money matters
By MIO Team
Mar 14, 2006, 09:42


Everybody knows that A.R.Rahman is a winner and people simply love his music. He has recently enthralled music lovers with the albums of 'The Rising' and 'Rang De Basanti'. However, shocking waves will run down your spine on hearing this piece of news. Surprisingly, this renowned musician is not paid fully for his work in 'The Rising'.

Rahman is very selective these days and he gives his best in the few projects he does. He has come out with a soothing album for 'The Rising', knowing that it's a big film. But there is a pathetic story behind this music. He received only Rs.10 lakhs, which was paid to the Prague Orchestra.

Meanwhile, producer of the film Bobby Bedi said recently that they have recovered the cost of the film. He also had said that a lot of money had been paid. He seems to be unaware of the due pending.

The makers of the film should know that Rahman deserves much more than they think.

Just curious, does anybody have any idea how much music directors earn per film? How much singers charge per song?

AR Rahman is THE best not one of the best but THE best music directors we have today. He has much more successes to his name than any music directors of today. And knowing his nature he would have just walked away with whatever he got as he is not the kind to create any scene.

jmn7..if you think 10 lakhs is enough for ARR then i guess in your view 0.5 lakh wld also be sufficient for other music directors of the industry...

Crapy musicians are making moe money then him then...THis is bad..AR Rehman..just the name is enough for his music
Directors are willing to pay more to some of the stars for their name sake and donot realize that music is as important a factor..by adding AR Rehman..the music has sold itself..he defenately deserves more.

Rehman's usual charge is 1 crore.This is one tenth of it!

Someone posted an article recently how all these reality show winners are preferring stage shows coz they pay him more.

Now that this topic has come, I was very disturbed when the UP govt. paid Pt.Jasraj and Abhijeet Sawant same amount (5 lakhs) for some festival organised by the state govt, while Jayaprada was paid 35lakhs for performing Amrapali.The news channel contacted Panditji on the issue and he said, I was with lesser people.She had a large trooupe so may be the officials paid accordingly.....but it was such a disgusting news that Pt.Jasraj n Abhijeet Sawant r paid same....hey bhagwan..kalyug ka shaayad yahi matlab hai!
