It\u2019s official now. AR Rahman<\/strong> will soon be establishing his base in Los Angeles. He is currently in the process of buying a place where he can set up a full-fledged office in the mecca of movies and music.<\/p>\n

Yay! Some talent in the music industry!
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks to his ever-growing popularity, Rahman now lives his life in suitcases. He confirmed this and said, \u201cI now have four separate teams in four cities \u2014 Chennai, LA, London and Mumbai.\u201d
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Strangely Rahman\u2019s<\/strong> scores back home have slowed down on their own. Commenting on what happens to his work at home, the busy composer said, \u201cKamal Haasan\u2019s Marmayogi got postponed after I did four songs with him. So, I got some reprieve. Then recently I was in Mumbai and Mani Ratnam flew down to record a song. That\u2019s the way he likes to work. Even during Bombay he would fly down to Mumbai for the music as he likes the city\u2019s energy. Almost all of the background score of Bombay was done in Mumbai. Even the songs of Rang De Basanti were recorded in Mumbai.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rahman doesn\u2019t buy the theory that he has done far better work than Slumdog Millionaire.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWho is to decide this? For the West, it is a change of sound and pace. In India I hear people saying, \u2018Rahman has done much better work than Slumdog.\u2019 But beauty lies in the ears of the beholder. And the West loves the film\u2019s soundtrack,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Coming back to composing music for Hollywood, Rahman<\/strong> added, \u201cThe actor Vince Vaughn met me recently and asked me to do the score in one of his films. That was a touching moment. I start work on this project in July. I didn\u2019t set out to redefine myself with Slumdog Millionaire. It just happened. For me it\u2019s important for my whole team to be happy with my music.\u201d<\/p>\n
