Angiogram Likely for AR Rahman

According to sources within the hospital, Rahman may undergo an angiogram for further evaluation. A dedicated team of specialists is currently attending to the Oscar and Grammy-winning composer to ensure his well-being.

In November 2024, AR Rahman and his former wife, Saira Banu, announced their separation after 29 years of marriage. Saira Banu stated that health concerns played a significant role in the decision, though she remains supportive of Rahman. The couple shares three children: Raheema, Khatija, and Ameen.

Despite health concerns, AR Rahman has been actively working on several high-profile film projects across different languages. This year, he composed music for the Tamil film Kadhalikka Neramillai and Chhaava. He is currently gearing up for the release of Thug Life, directed by Mani Ratnam and starring Kamal Haasan, which is expected to hit theaters on June 10.

AR Rahman’s Upcoming Films Include:

Lahore 1947
