Panaji: Music composer AR Rahman made a statement on growing intolerance and agreed with actor Aamir Khan. Rahman said that a few months ago when a group of muslim issued a fatwa against him, he too faced a similar situation.
While speaking at NFDC’s Film Bazaar at the 46th International Film Festival of India (Iffi) at Panaji, he said that he too had faced intolerance and added that the people should not be violent in a civilized society.
The Oscar-winning music director said, “Nothing should be violent. We’re all ultra-civilized people and we should show the world that we are the best civilization.”
When asked about the artists returning their awards, he said, “Everything should be done classily. I feel what people are doing is very poetic. We should set an example for the world because we come from the land of Mahatma Gandhi; he has shown how a revolution can have an impact without any violence.”
