Don't want to make a film as grand as 'Baahubali': Rahman

May 7, 2017

New Delhi, May 7: Music maestro A R Rahman, who has made his directorial debut with a multisensory virtual reality film, doesn't believe that a grand war epic like "Baahubali" lends itself to the medium.

RahmanRahman's film "Le Musk", starring actors Nora Arnezeder, Guy Burnet, Munirih Grace and Mariam Zohrabyan, revolves around the sense of smell.

"Grandeur is too overwhelming in VR. You feel tired after sometime. For example, a war scene (like in 'Baahubali'), you could feel the pressure. In 3D, the pressure is felt farther," Rahman said in an interview here.

The Oscar-winning musician says it would be too expensive for him to replicate what S S Rajamouli has delivered.

"I don't want to make a film as grand as 'Baahubali' because we have other grander directors who can make such films. Plus, I don't have Rs 200 crore."

The musician says he wanted to create a beautiful world of visuals that don't affect the viewers negatively.

"I want to create the music, the beauty, the visuals. I want to create a world for people, so that they would never want to come out of it. I have even tried to portray the negative aspects of the story poetically, so that it doesn't bother you spiritually," he says.

"Le Musk" is his maiden project as a filmmaker and Rahman says he was ecstatic when PVR gave a positive response about making a film in VR.

"When I had this idea of making the film, we met people at PVR. We presented the idea and asked them to have a look at it as VR is the future."

Rahman says he does not take negative reviews to his heart as music is all about instincts.

"After a while you don't care (bad reviews). You feel an instinct that (good) music will happen. If it doesn't, you just go back. I believe that because I'm a spiritual person, there's a force that is helping me. I have good intentions. The people working with me have great ideas and that is the best we can do," Rahman says.

With "Le Musk", PVR is collaborating with YM Movies to bring the world's first VR multisensory episodic feature film.

To feed the affected people in Mumbai, the food truck with the words ''Being Haangryy'' written on it, was seen in Mumbai roads on Wednesday, where volunteers are providing huge bags of ration. A long queue of people was standing near the truck to get the essentials.

Many videos of the truck moving around the city providing ration kits to the people in need, surfaced on the internet from earlier this month.

However, the Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor has not announced this initiative himself on his personal social media accounts.

The Sultan actor is staying at his Panvel farmhouse with his nephew Nirvaan Khan and other family members ever since the lockdown was announced.

Earlier, the 54-year-old actor urged people to take up the ''Anna Daan'' challenge and donate to the underprivileged ones who are worst affected by the COVID-19 lockdown.

After urging people to take up the ''Anna Daan'' challenge, the actor posted a video on Twitter, that features him and Iulia Vantur, Jacqueline Fernandez among others loading the bags filled with ration on to a truck.

Khan actively posts videos on his social media handles to raise awareness about the importance of social distancing during COVID-19.
