A.R. Rahman’s work on the Hindu mythological film *Ramayana* counters claims of communal bias in Bollywood, according to Salim Merchant.
Salim Merchant dismissed claims of communal bias against A R Rahman in Bollywood, citing Rahman’s role as composer for the major Hindu mythological film *Ramayana*—described as one of the biggest Indian cinema projects ever—as evidence of industry inclusivity.
Rahman had previously suggested non-creative decision-makers and communal factors limited his opportunities, but later clarified he never meant to offend, emphasizing music’s power to unite cultures and his deep connection to India.
Merchant acknowledged Rahman’s personal experience may differ but argued the high-profile project contradicts systemic bias.
The remarks sparked debate, with some supporting Merchant’s view and others noting that one project doesn’t reflect broader industry challenges.
