Ram Gopal Varma Clarifies Misquote on AR Rahman and 'Jai Ho' Composition

An old interview of filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma resurfaced, in which he suggested that singer Sukhwinder Singh composed the Oscar-winning song 'Jai Ho' from Slumdog Millionaire, not AR Rahman. Varma later clarified on social media that he was misquoted and taken out of context, praising Rahman as the greatest composer and denying any intent to undermine his credit. The controversy follows Rahman's recent remarks about facing communal bias in the Hindi film industry.
