The 43-year-old who has won thirteen Filmfare Awards, four National Film Awards, a BAFTA Award, a Golden Globe and two Academy Awards was in the capital for a concert in association with Phat Phish Records, to commemorate 50 years of Doordarshan.

'I am proud to be associated with Doordarshan. It feels great to be part of such a momentous occasion today when the channel is completing 50 glorious years,' he said.

Asked about his studio in Los Angeles, Rahman said: 'Right now the studio is not there. I am in the middle of getting loans sanctioned to start other things on the project.'
