I'm a Sufi Muslim, I would say. I believe in using the medium to create a good vibration because art is so important to society. Some projects I don't do because I feel that it's going to create a bad vibe. I don't do propaganda films that are anti another religion, anti-Muslim or anti-Hindu.

A good film demands its own score, and if you are a musician, your conscience will never allow you to do something mediocre for a good film.

A. R. Rahman Quotes
