Award-winning composer, producer, and singer-songwriter A.R. Rahman can also add director to his list of credits thanks to Canada’s newest film and music production company, Toronto-based Ideal Entertainment.
Rahman is best known for scoring Slumdog Millionaire for which he earned two Academy Awards and two Grammy Awards. He has also scored 127 Hours, The Hundred Foot Journey, and Pelé: Birth of a Legend.
Rahman was in Toronto on Thursday for Ideal Entertainment’s media launch. He told host George Stroumboulopoulos it was his dream to produce quality movies based on music. And after writing his first script, he wanted to find financiers that believed in his vision.
He said Ideal Entertainment was the right partner to produce his directorial debut, Le Musk, a virtual reality short. “Ideal Entertainment has the same vision, international sensibilities, and they still understand the core value of where I come from.”
