AR Rahman reveals Lal Salaam is not ‘cringy’
During the grand audio launch event of Lal Salaam, AR Rahman gave a moving speech on the film. The Academy Award-winning music composer revealed that he first thought the movie would be boring, but it turned out to be heartwarming. As per Indian Express, he said, “When Aishwarya first told me the story of the film… I thought ‘This film is going to be boring da.’ I thought it would be preachy. Until I saw the film…”
AR Rahman then heaped praises on Rajinikanth for changing Lal Salaam a bit. He said, “The scenes that I thought would be cringy and preachy were handled very thoughtfully and were heartwarming. I then asked her who wrote dialogues for the movie, and she said, ‘I wrote and Appa changed a bit.’ I realized it was his wisdom. Because he respects everything, he has researched well and has said many rare things,” he said.
Lal Salaam will hit the theaters on February 9, 2024.
