AR Rahman hopes oscars will be turning point for his career in hollywood

rahman says those oscars will be new starting points for his career
Coming home to an overwhelming reception after his dream run at the Oscars, music wizard A R Rahman said he viewed the top honour not as a "climax" of his career but a "starting point" for making a difference to music and people's perception towards it.




Arriving to the chants of 'Jai Ho', the award winning song of Slumdog Millionaire, by his fans and well-wishers, Rahman said he was completely overwhelmed and touched by the rousing reception.

"They (fans) almost killed me with their love," the music maestro said in a lighter vein.


Rahman said that he wanted to use the occasion to give a message that between love and hate he always opted for the former.

"Between love and hate, I chose love.. The actors and directors (present at the Kodak Theatre) liked the statement. Even Michael Jackson (pop star) liked it", he said with a smile.

A festive atmosphere prevailed at the airport where Rahman was treated to a musical reception by his friend and popular percussionist, Sivamani, who played the drum. Kerala's 'Kottu Melam' (percusion instruments) artists performed on behalf of Indian Airlines after he returned home from Dubai at around 2.30 AM.

Receiving him on behalf of the state government, Tamil Nadu Information Minister Parithi Ilamvazhuthi presented a bouquet to Rahman.

Many fans followed Rahman upto his house from the airport.
