Summary: (http://kamlashow.com/podcast/wp-content/uploads/arrahmankamla2.jpg)AR Rahman's music in Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire has become a runaway hit. The films has won 10 Oscar nominations out of which 3 are for AR Rahman's music. AR went to to win 2 Oscars and became the first music composer from the Indian film industry to win 2 Oscars. In early February 2009 right before the Oscars I caught with AR Rahman on one of his brief visits to Los Angeles. In Part-1 AR as he likes to be called talks about working with Danny Boyle, his thoughts on Slumdog Millionaire and why he instantly connected with it and why he thought the movie reminded him of Shawshank Redemption (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shawshank_Redemption). Like everybody else I wanted to find out how he was mentally preparing for the Oscars? Tune in to find out what he has to say about that. In Part-2 he talks about his journey as a musician.
