Rahman’s summer holiday

Looks like the incessant spotlight has got on the nerves of the reclusive double Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman, who sources reveal has packed his bags and left for a holiday of London and US as soon as he finished the music for Anthony D’Souza’s Blue.

It is said that Rahman has taken his wife along with him during his vacation in which he will also be conducting meetings with  business acquaintances in both places. Rahman has got a new agent in America and has also bagged a big international film. He is expected to meet the film-makers during his trip there.

An insider reveals, “Post the Oscar, the frenzy around him has increased. He feels that his privacy is being violated. He has tried to escape to various places but the spotlight has followed him. Plus, the anticipation of people to see Rahman outdo himself has increased too.”

The source adds, “After his trip, he has to come back soon since there is a tremendous work pressure back home as he is doing the music of five big films, including Mani Ratnam’s Raavan, Rajnikanth and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan-starrer Endhiran, Abbas Tyrewala’s 1-800-Love, Rockstar and Satyagrahi.”
