Rahman’s son turned singer

He is, his dad was, and his nephew now is, all his sisters are. So, what’s the big surprise in AR Rahman’s son Alim turning singer now? But yes, the Academy Award winning musician’s son has sung for a complete song in Rahman’s Hollywood flick, 'Couples Retreat'.

The film, touted to be a romantic comedy, is Rahman’s first complete Hollywood venture, as all his previous works have been for crossover movies. And last week, Rahman’s son Alim had recorded a song in the film.

It has been said earlier that Rahman’s children lent their voice for the chorus sections of a few songs, most notably “Dhinam Dhinam Deepavali” in 'Varalaaru'. But the composer is known to be highly protective of his children, not exposing them to the public eye.

But with this song and his son, he surely has signaled the arrival of gen next.
