What A. R. Rahman Said About the Music of Ramayana
according to the http://www.pinkvilla.com
The much-anticipated film Ramayana, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, is currently in its intensive production phase — particularly when it comes to music. The soundtrack of this grand project is being composed by two legendary artists: India’s A. R. Rahman and Hollywood composer Hans Zimmer.
First Part Complete, Second Part in Production
While the first part of Ramayana has wrapped up filming, the second part is now underway. For the first time, A. R. Rahman has spoken publicly about his work on the film’s music. Along with Zimmer, Rahman is composing the background score and songs for both parts of the film — a process that demands detailed preparation and deep cultural understanding.
Rahman Opens Up About Working with Hans Zimmer
In a recent media interaction, A. R. Rahman shared the story of how the collaboration came to be:
“Hans and I had worked together once before, but we hadn’t collaborated in a long time. One day, Namita Malhotra told me, ‘There are two composers I truly admire — you and Hans. Why don’t you both work on Ramayana together?’ I immediately agreed, and Hans, too, accepted the idea after a single phone call from Namita.”
Rahman added that before composing anything, he and Zimmer spent time understanding the full narrative of the Ramayana and its key characters:
“Hans was very particular about understanding each character. This approach will help the story connect emotionally not only with Indian audiences but also with viewers from the West.”
Two Oscar Winners Join Forces
It’s a matter of great pride that both A. R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer are Academy Award-winning composers. Rahman, already a household name in India, has scored some of the most iconic soundtracks in Indian cinema. His deep understanding of Indian emotions and cultural context makes him an ideal choice for a film like Ramayana.
He recently composed the music for the Marathi blockbuster Chhava, further showing his versatility and command over regional storytelling through music.
