A.R. Rahman, who is known for his musical work across regions, recently shared an interesting moment from his ordinary life. In an exclusive interview with IANS, the Oscar-winning composer revealed that he often watches Marvel films with his team. “We get together, 20-30 people, sit at the back of the theater, eat popcorn and enjoy. We go like this once every two to three months,” Rahman said with a laugh. Such small pleasures provide a break from the busy world of music and allow you to experience what the sound system is like in world-famous Hollywood films.

When asked who his favorite character in the Marvel films was, Rahman gave an unexpected answer. He said that it's not the superheroes themselves that are important to him, but the music and sound design that bring those stories to life that are most appealing. "Since it's the artist's mind, I can't help but notice. I only notice how the songs have been used, whether the music is innovative, and whether it can be done better. It's like people are criticizing my music," he said with a laugh.
