AR Rahman is someone
who never hides his respect and admiration
for director Mani Ratnam. The usually shy
musician is now connected to the world through
social networking sites. AR Rahman showed
his child-like enthusiasm and excitement
when Mani Ratnam was awarded the 'Jaeger-Le
Coultre Glory to the Filmmaker Award’ at
the 67th Venice Film Festival. He described
Mani as his mentor, his brother and the
man who made him think different.
"To my mentor, my brother and the man
who taught me to be different... Mani, three
cheers to you for getting this well deserved
award at the Venice Film Festival... May
God bless you with more..." was Rahman's
comment on Mani's recent achievement.
