Unfortunate that people have stopped trusting filmmakers: AR Rahman

Mumbai,

Music composer A R Rahman, who has scored the music for Rajkumar Santoshi’s “Gandhi Godse: Ek Yudh”, says it’s unfortunate people judge films even before they watch them.

Santoshi’s film is at the centre of a debate with some arguing that the film undermines the legacy of Mahatma Gandhi and glorifies his assassin Nathuram Godse.

At a promotional event of the film on Tuesday, Rahman said, “They have not seen the film, they have assumed the trailer is taking sides… People have stopped trusting filmmakers because filmmakers are taking sides.” “Unfortunately… So, he (Santoshi) is the victim,” Rahman told reporters here.
