Living legend A R Rahman is in Sydney for his concert. This is his third concert in Australia and he is very excited about it. He says, "I have come with a message that we all need to be united. And music unites us all."

Despite now being a Global figure A R remains grounded and humble. His love for India will never cease but neither will his curiosity to learn about other countries and cultures. He loves Sufi music and is heartened to see that many from the Western world are learning to appreciate Qawallis and Sufiana music.

On being asked as to what emotion he would like to evoke in his audience A R says, "I would like my audience to feel what I am feeling." To transfer and transport one's own feelings to the audiences through the vibrations of music is the greatest moment for a performer" and A R has achieved it without a doubt.
