A.R Rahman on Magic of Kun Faya Kun, Music Process & AI in Music | The Bombay Journey EP264

AR Rahman in the car with us — yes, it really happened. On this episode of The Bombay Journey, presented by Hyundai, we got a rare glimpse into a side of the maestro that fans don’t often get to see. From inviting us into his iconic Mumbai studio to opening up about how he's experimenting with AI in music, Rahman shares stories behind some of his most legendary songs. He also talks about the deep emotion and spirituality that went into creating Kun Faya Kun — a moment that truly gave us goosebumps. It’s AR Rahman like never before: thoughtful, candid, and quietly brilliant.
