Rabbi Shergill, singer popular for his Bulla Ki Jaana and Tere Bin, spoke about Oscar-winner AR Rahman.
He said “I admire Rahman for his creative genius. He is a genius. There is no doubt about it,” He added“Rahman phase is not pro poetry or pro lyrics phase in Hindi film industry”.
Sharing his concern he said, “I feel after Rahman came, the lyrics in the Hindi film industry became secondary, and if lyrics become secondary, that means expression becomes secondary, it means that somewhere your humanity and existence become secondary, this is my issue with Rahman."
He added“It is not his fault because it is not his language. He doesn’t understand it.” He, however, praised his work in the Tamil music industry, saying that it is “another ball game”.
The 52-year-old singer said his larger concern is with the music industry rather than with Rahman himself. “If somebody doesn’t understand your language, I think it was your call. You need to explain all of that to him.”
