There might have been different reasons, but this (language) might also have been one of them. He has been facing this problem which he would not term as a problem. Rather he would call it a hitch.<\/p>\n<p>Grammy and Oscar winning Indian musician A.R. Rahman says his fans often complain about the language he chooses for his performances, but they always come back and attend his shows. When Rahman performed in London as part of his Netru, Indru, Naalai (Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow) in July, some fans were left disappointed as he sang more Tamil than Hindi songs.<\/p>\n<p>Recalling the moment, Rahman told reporters here on Saturday: \u201cThere were 9,000 people and 50 people might have gone. There might have been different reasons, but this (language) might also have been one of them. I have been facing this problem\u2026I would not say it is a problem. It is a hitch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndia is so complex, but it still works. We all have different cultures\u2026There are people from Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Bengal, Punjab and Maharashtra\u2026\u201d But people need to look at the bigger picture, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll the 9,000 people bought the tickets. The same problem was in America in 2000. Then in Malaysia. They said that I sang too many Hindi songs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey (fans) have been very kind and after complaining, they have been coming back to my concerts so, it\u2019s fine,\u201d said the \u201cMaa tujhe salaam\u201d hitmaker, whose intention is do \u201csomething that is honest\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Asked about his connection with music lovers, he said: \u201cI think when we all take up a job like being a doctor, there\u2019s a responsibility and there should be honesty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a driver, if something goes wrong then I\u2019m done. So music is also very similar to that. What we give to people should be right and make sure that that\u2019s the best you can do.\u201dHe also spoke about deriving energy from the audience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m mostly locked in my studio. We spend days and days just looking at each other. Sometimes I go out\u2026and come back and change things.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AR Rahman said that there were 9,000 people and 50 people might have gone.
