A R Rahman Ventures Into Script-Writing, Film Production

"How much can you do that? You have done it all, so for me to force myself to challenge myself, I thought let me build my own platform to challenge myself. So this idea of film producing and script writing came about," he said, adding that the casting for his first film has already begun. He, however, did not give further details of the movie.     

He added that when he was working on the British musical 'Bombay Dreams', he was asked by its composer Andrew Lloyd Webber if he had some story ideas. Rahman replied that he was a music composer and did not have any story ideas of his own.          

"But one day I thought why not," he said, adding that when he observed people from various cultures he would wonder what their story would be and that is what got him interested in script writing.     

Rahman, 48, best known in the US for his Academy Award, Golden Globe and Grammy-winning score for Danny Boyle's 'Slumdog Millionaire', however ruled out donning the director's hat, saying since he is an "introvert" he does not see himself as a director.
