A R Rahman: Music Composer Turns Hitman

According to A.R. Rahman, 'Chhava' is a communal film, yet the Hindu-majoritarian filmmakers of this communal film allowed A.R. Rahman to compose the music, and he happily composed the music for Chhava. It seems both the filmmakers and he have very big hearts. The filmmakers gave him work despite him being Muslim, and he contributed his music to the film despite it being communal! Or perhaps he only found out the film was communal after it was made, and the filmmakers only found out he was Muslim after the film was made. Well, it worked out for both of them.

Anyway.

In this same Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, and Saif Ali Khan are big stars, but even people like Emraan Hashmi, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Huma Qureshi, Arshad Warsi, Nushrratt Bharuccha, and Nargis Fakhri are getting work. Aren't they Muslim?

They got work, but you're not getting work because you're Muslim! Great. But why aren't Udit Narayan, Kumar Sanu, Alka Yagnik, Anuradha Paudwal, Abhijeet, and Sonu Nigam getting work either? So, according to your logic, should we assume they're not getting work because they're Hindu?

The truth is, you've gotten old, like the other artists of your generation, and people don't like your music anymore, just like they don't like their singing anymore.

Anyway, you have the option of crying, just like Mohammad Azharuddin. So keep crying. Or perhaps someone hired you and that journalist for this very purpose, and you're doing your job like a 'hitman'!
