New Delhi [India], January 6 (ANI): The Indian musical maestro A.R. Rahman, known for his soulful music and plethora of awards and honors turned 54 years old on Wednesday. The 'Mozart of Madras' has been an inspiration to many and his work is a window of his roller coaster journey. From background scores, movie songs to jingles, this immensely talented musician has given us songs that will be remembered by generations to come.
Bollywood, which was widely popular for its pomp and show, especially during the 90s was stumped by the arrival of this quiet and diminutive composer, who worked out of a small and unpretentious studio in Chennai. The multi-faceted, musical talent composed his first music for the Mani Ratnam directorial 'Roja' and since then there has been no looking back for him. In a career spanning almost three decades, the global icon has two Academy Awards, a BAFTA Award, two Grammy Awards, six National Film Awards, a Golden Globe and 15 Filmfare Awards to his credit.
