AR Rahman on vandalism: It happened to others too AR Rahman opens up on the vandalism incident and explains why he didnt file a police compliant. AR Rahman has been spending a lot of time in the US this year and explains his prolonged absence from India with two bigticket Hollywood films whose soundtracks have been keeping him busy. He composed the score for the American biographical sports drama, Million Dollar Arm. He now has The HundredFoot Journey which Steven Spielberg is producing with Oprah Winfrey and Juliet Blake, coming out on August 8. A month ago, Mirror (May 20, 2014) had reported that the Oscar and Grammy winning composers home in Los Angeles had been vandalised. A friend had then told Mirror that Rahman was the first to discover the graffiti. However, nobody had broken into the house and the musician and his family were unharmed.

When you are in another country everything disturbs you. But we learned that it was a kid who had sprayed the walls of a couple of other houses in the neighbourhood too. So we didnt pursue the matter, he explains. However, hes glad that he posted the picture of the vandalised wall on his social media pages so people know that its not a bed of roses there. Last year a guy just went on a shooting spree in LA . The US is becoming a gun nation. But along with a few bad people, there are a lot of good people too, he reasons.
