AR Rahman Demands Higher Remuneration to Reclaim Top Spot in Indian Music Industry
A recent shift in the Indian music industry has seen South Indian sensation Anirudh Ravichandar take the title of highest paid music director, dethroning the iconic AR Rahman. Known for his chart-topping hits, Anirudh now commands a staggering 10 crores for his work on a film, surpassing Rahman’s previous record of 8 crores.
Nevertheless, Rahman seems determined to reclaim his position at the pinnacle of the industry. Unofficial reports suggest that the illustrious composer has decided to raise his fee from 8 crores to 10 crores, a move that is yet to be officially confirmed. Speculations are circulating that Rahman’s demands for a 10-crore payment to score the music for an upcoming film featuring Nani in the lead role are a direct response to his competition with Anirudh.
For years, Rahman has reigned supreme as the highest paid music director in India, with no musician able to surpass his remuneration. However, Anirudh’s exceptional talent and growing popularity have toppled Rahman from his throne. Anirudh’s remarkable 10-crore paycheck for Shah Rukh Khan’s film Jawaan solidified his position as the new industry leader in terms of pay.
Despite remaining in second place with a revised salary of 10 crores, Rahman’s decision to demand double the remuneration for Telugu music directors has reportedly raised eyebrows among producers. In light of this, the film’s makers are said to be deliberating their final decision regarding the music director.
When asked who is the highest paid music director in India, there was only one answer, AR Rahman. But recently there has been a change in this regard. South Indian hitmaker Anirudh Ravichandar has bagged the post of the highest paid music director in the Indian film industry. Anirudh gets 10 crores for a film. Rahman 8 and eight crores.
But the sign is that Rahman is preparing to regain his lost position. A new report says that AR Rahman has increased the remuneration from 8 crores to 10 crores. There has been no official confirmation in this regard. Currently, the national media is reporting that Rahman has demanded 10 crores to compose the music for the new film in which Nani is playing the lead role. Rumors are spreading that AR Rahman is competing with Anirudh by increasing the prize.
Over the years, no musician has been able to surpass AR Rahman in terms of remuneration. But now Anirudh has become the highest paid musician in the country beating AR Rahman’s record of 8 crores. Anirudh was paid Rs 10 crore for Shah Rukh Khan’s film Jawaan. Rahman has been hiked from 8 crores to 10 crores while coming second in terms of pay. With this, Anirudh and Rahman have become the same paid musicians in India.
Meanwhile, according to reports, Rahman’s decision to increase the remuneration has angered the producers. Rahman has demanded double the remuneration for Telugu music directors. Because of this, it is reported that the makers of the film have not made a final decision regarding the music director.
