Music composer AR Rahman needs no introduction and has been a part of several mega projects and continues to bring magic with his music.
Recently, he became a part of 77th Cannes Film Festival where he introduced his upcoming doc-feature titled ‘Headhunting to Beatboxing.’
It is directed by Rohit Gupta and is produced by the composer himself.
It explores the journey of Rahman and evolution of his music across cultures, tribes and generations.
Abu Metha, Advisor to the Chief Minister, Government of Nagaland who was also present at the launch said, “The germ of the idea came up when AR Rahman visited Nagaland to be part of the legendary Hornbill Festival. We knew we had to be part of it. The film is a collaboration of many creative minds, especially the TaFMA and masterfully captured by director Rohit Gupta. The real heroes are the musicians of Nagaland, who tell stories that go back to times immemorial and their music exemplifies the ambition of our youth.”
Director, Rohit said, “5 years in the making, the journey of this film has been a sort of metamorphosis for me. The rich and vibrant music today, transcending the scars of the past is something that truly blew me away during the making. I am excited to see audiences witness our hard work and the magic that exists in the music of Nagaland.”
