A R Rahman is attempting something which no music composer in Tamil cinema has perhaps not tried so far. The Oscar and Grammy winner will soon bring out a coffee table book, showcasing his work and colleagues from ‘Roja’ to ‘Raavan’.
Renowned photographer and director of K M C Conservatory backed by Rahman, T Selvakumar, has begun shooting for the book, which will feature new photographs of the Mozart of Madras and musicians who had worked with him so far.
The book will also have some pages dedicated to Sridhar, a sound engineer very close to Rahman who is no more, we learn. Says Selvakumar, “We are conducting a fresh photo shoot and no old photographs will be used.”
The book, to be published by Rahman Foundation, is expected to be released by the end of 2010. “Rahman is keen on the project because he wants to place on record singers and others who had worked with him, whom he thinks as the secret of his success,” sources say.
