A. R. Rahman is an Indian composer, singer and songwriter.

He made his debut as a film composer through Roja after being approached by its director Mani Ratnam. The soundtrack became popular upon release, which led to him winning the National Film Award for Best Music Direction at the 41st National Film Awards, the first time for a debutant.[lower-alpha 1] As of 2018, Rahman has garnered six National Film Awards, 15 Filmfare Awards and 17 Filmfare Awards South, a record for an Indian composer.
