AR Rahman And Michael Jackson: Bollywood’s legendary singer and composer AR Rahman has made a name for himself all over the world. AR Rahman, who has given many great songs in Bollywood, is one of the few Indians to have won an Oscar. He has increased the prestige of India all over the world on the basis of his talent.
57-year-old AR Rahman needs no introduction. He is famous all over the world. But once he had to wait for several days to meet Michael Jackson. However, when AR Rahman got a chance to meet Michael Jackson, he himself refused to meet Michael Jackson. But there is an interesting reason behind this.
Michael Jackson’s team sent an email 7 days later
Free Malaysia Times’ YouTube channel has uploaded a video of AR Rahman. In this, Rahman is talking about his memorable meeting with Michael Jackson. But earlier he had refused to meet Michael Jackson. Actually, when AR Rahman expressed his desire to meet Michael, his team sent an email to the Indian singer after seven days.
Had asked to meet Michael Jackson’s manager
AR Rahman said, ‘In the beginning of 2009, I was in Los Angeles. There I met Michael Jackson’s manager. I asked him if I could meet Michael Jackson. In response, he said, yes, why not, we will send an email. There was no response from him in the first week. I was just calm, I thought it was okay.’
Refused to meet Michael, said- I will meet him after winning the Oscar
AR Rahman further said, ‘After that the nominations came. I was nominated for the Oscar. After this I got an email. It was written in it that Michael Jackson wants to meet you. Then I said, now I don’t want to meet him. I will meet him only if I win the Oscar, otherwise I will not. I was sure that I am going to win the Oscar.’
Then Michael Jackson called AR Rahman to his home
After winning the Oscar, Michael Jackson invited AR Rehna to his house to meet him. He never forgets that day. AR Rehna further said, ‘I went to meet him the next day after winning the Oscar. We met at his house in Los Angeles. My driver dropped me to his house. It was around 6:30 in the evening, the sun was setting and then someone wearing gloves opened the door. I was very happy because I had won 2 Oscars. I was on cloud nine. The meeting with him was good.’ Michael also introduced Rahman to his children. AR Rehna said that he also showed me some dance moves. This is a memory I will never forget.
AR Rahman wanted to work with Michael, but…’
On the request of Shankar, director of the film Ethiran (Robot), AR Rahman asked him to sing in this film. Michael Jackson accepted this offer. But on 25 June 2009, the bad news came that Michael Jackson is no more in this world. AR Rahman’s dream of working with Michael Jackson remained unfulfilled.
