A.R. RAHMAN STORY PICKS By Rahmaniac.com May 15, 2023

Anil Kapoor and A.R. Rahman struck gold 14 years ago at various global platforms with Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire. However, the actor holds a grudge against the composer.

A.R. Rahman and co. were attending the Golden Globes, and he was nominated in the Best Composer category. But one person was unable to see him take the award, and that was Anil Kapoor. Arrow

I was sitting next to Anil and I was so thirsty. He was very kind and said he will get a Sprite for me . By the time he went and got it, I got the award.” “I will never forgive him. I was waiting for him to get an award. An Indian, Rahman sahab going on stage and getting an award but he was thirsty, so I said I will go. There was so much crowd at the bar counter, by the time I was back, he got the award.” Arrow

Kapoor said, “But then I saw the Oscar which was the cherry on the cake. You don’t know what I felt when he went on stage and the song was played. I wish I could break the protocol and start dancing on stage. I had to control myself.” - Anil Kapoor, 2019 Incident narrated during the Slumdog Millionaire 10 year anniversary celebrations which was held in Mumbai.
