AR Rahman & Gulzar collaborate to create music for Subrata Roy biopic

A biopic on business tycoon Subrata Roy is being made and Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman and legendary writer-poet and filmmaker Gulzar are coming together to make music for this upcoming project.

AR Rahman said: “Gulzar Saab’s soulful lyrics are extremely inspiring for a musician and I hope I can do justice to the lyrics and the story. I am looking forward to this collaboration.”

Gulzar added: “It will be wonderful to collaborate with AR Rahman again. Subrata Roy’s life is enigmatic and inspiring. Rahman is a wonderful artist and musician and I look forward to this collaboration.”

Subrata Roy is the Chairman of Sahara India Pariwar. In 2010 the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) barred him and two of his companies by accusing him and his companies of raising several crores through optionally fully convertible debentures (OFCDs) that SEBI considered wrong. The businessman was jailed for over two years and has been out on parole since 2016.
