AR Rahman’s Comments on Communal Bias Spark Debate; Anup Jalota Suggests Reconversion

Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman recently suggested that a 'power shift' and possible communal bias have affected his work opportunities in Bollywood over the past eight years. His remarks sparked controversy and mixed reactions within the industry. Veteran singer Anup Jalota responded by advising Rahman to reconvert to Hinduism if he believes his Muslim faith limits his career, a suggestion that drew both criticism and support. Several industry figures have expressed differing views on Rahman's claims, highlighting ongoing debate about religion and opportunity in Hindi cinema.
