It's no secret that A R Rahman is one of the few music directors in the history of Indian cinema who has revolutionized how tunes are composed. it is well known that for a long period of time, he was working from London on several Tamil and Hindi films and as soon as the tune was ready, he used to mail it to his team back in Chennai to record the song, whereas most music directors prefer to sit with their team of composers, lyricists and come up with tunes for songs.

In a recent interview, ace movie director & film maker Mani Ratnam has revealed yet another interesting aspect A.R.Rahman's way of composing tunes. He said, “Sometimes he has played few compositions to me which he claims to have composed on flight. I wonder how did even manage to compose a tune on flight with no instruments.” It surely is a work of a genius who is totally immersed in his work. Rahman is teaming up with Mani Ratnam for the 12th time for the movie 'Kadal' or 'Kadali', which is slated for February 1st release.
