SInger Rabbi Shergill has said that the arriver of AR Rahman in the take euphony shot changed the kinetics of Hindi cinema’s soundtracks, and not always for the better. The singer said that after Rahman, ‘lyrics became secondary’, which led to a reduction in the focus on expression.Rabbi Shergill on AR RahmanSpeaking on Divas Gupta’s podcast, the singer praised Rahman as a genius, but added how his arrival in Bollywood in the 90s shifted the focus in film music from lyrics and poetry to beats and rhythm. “I admire Rahman for his creative genius. He is a genius. There is no doubt about it. But Rahman phase is not pro poetry or pro lyrics phase in Hindi film industry. I feel after Rahman came, the lyrics in the Hindi film industry became secondary, and if lyrics become secondary, that means expression becomes secondary, it means that somewhere your humanity and existence become secondary, this is my issue with Rahman,” Rabbi said.Rabbi, who sang for Rahman in the film Raanjhana, said this was largely because Rahman did not know or understand Hindi. But he laid the blame for this on who people who approach him to compose and not the composer himself. “It is not his fault because it is not his language. He doesn’t understand it…If somebody doesn’t understand your language, I think it was your call,” Rabbi added.AR Rahman's careerAR Rahman worked in Ilaiyaraaja’s orchestra in the 80s and early 90s, before getting his big break with Mani Ratnam’s Roja. He found fame in Bollywood with hit soundtracks like Rangeela, Dil Se, and Taal in the 90s. In 2009, he won an Oscar for his song Jai Ho in Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire. During a three-decade career, he has established himself as one of the most sought-after composers in the world. His upcoming work includes the score for Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, for which he is collaborating with Hans Zimmer.
