A.R.Rahman is no longer confined to the Tamil music space.He is a big brand name in Bollywood and has also ventured into Western theater with his ‘’The Lord of the Rings’’ rendition.His recent form is mediocre by his standards, with Anbae Aruyire,Sillunnu Oru Kadhal and Varalaaru.All these albums had flashes of brilliance but didnt succeed as expected.But A.R.R retains his top spot because his albums generate the kind of hype and expectation that is on a league of its own.He still commands the highest compensation among composers and his audio rights still remain the most expensive.He is the most sought after music director for top directors like Shankar, Maniratnam and K.S.Ravikumar.
