YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman has sparked controversy after remarks suggesting he is receiving less work due to a “power shift” in Bollywood, possibly with communal undertones. His comments triggered sharp reactions from industry figures and netizens. Actress and BJP leader Kangana Ranaut criticised Rahman, while lyricist Javed Akhtar and singer Shaan disagreed with his assessment. However, several artists, including composer Kailas Menon and lyricist Varun Grover, supported him. Rahman later clarified he meant no harm, calling India his home and inspiration.
