Watch: Pudhu Vellai Mazhai, glass orchestra’s tribute to AR Rahman

A R Rahman chose Roja over Berklee

A R Rahman has recently been catching a lot of attentions from the youngsters. From the Berklee College of Music to the Glass Orchestra of Delhi all seem to have a swell time giving tribute to the one and only Rahman.

What these 18 - 20 year olds from Delhi did, with a set of glasses and bottles, is commendable. A R Rahman composed Pudhu Vellai Mazhai when he was just 26.

While little do people know that he chose ‘Roja’ over Berklee. “When I was about to fill the admission forms to join the Berklee College of Music, an amazing opportunity came from Mani Ratnam. He offered me the film, Roja. I had to choose between the two. And you all know the rest. Today, I am here and feel that I have come full circle,” he said in an emotion-laden voice in the Berklee event.

Their tribute is worth a watch.
