UAE filmmaker defends AR Rahman amid backlash

Music composer AR Rahman recently found himself at the centre of a social media storm following remarks he made during an interview. The backlash erupted after Rahman described Chhaava as a divisive film and suggested that a communal shift in Bollywoods power dynamics had resulted in him getting less work over the past eight years. While his comments drew criticism online, the composer issued a clarification reaffirming his love for India. Now, UAE filmmaker Nayla Al Khaja has publicly come out in his support.
