All this started when Oscar winner, AR Rahman revealed in an interview with a daily portal that he started getting fewer films in Bollywood after winning the Oscar. He said how there was a 'gang' that worked against him. Although he is getting good movies in Bollywood, the number is still fewer than what it used to be and this is entirely due to some misunderstandings. AR Rahman had composed music for movies like Rang De Basanti, Roja, Dil Se, Kadhalan, Rangeela, Lagaan, Guru and recently Dil Bechara. 

In other news, Resul Pookutty is a sound designer who won his Oscar for his work in Slumdog Millionaire. It was the same movie which gave Rahman his two Oscars. He has also worked in movies like Oru Kadhai, I.D. and Chittagong.
