Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali, who has worked with AR Rahman for films like Rockstar, Highway and Tamasha, says the Oscar-winning composer’s life is worth a biopic, but feels it can wait.
Ali attended the premiere of One Heart: The AR Rahman Concert Film on Thursday, which is currently playing in UAE cinemas.
Asked whether a biopic should be made on Rahman, he said: “Definitely... I think a biopic should be made on AR Rahman sir, but I don’t think this is the right time to make film on his life.
“One can start with the research but it should be made later on. He is too young and he has not even reached the middle point of his career.”
Rahman has marked 25 years of his music career in films.
The movie’s premiere was attended by celebrities such as Ashutosh Gowariker, Armaan Malik, Boney Kapoor, Alka Yagnik, Udit Narayan, among others.
After a mixed response to his last film Jab Harry Met Sejal, Ali said he was writing new scripts, adding: “I am trying to figure out which one is good and as usual, I am trying to find best scripts to which I can do justice.”
