It proves you have more talent than Bollywood can handle ..” Oscar winning sound designer Resul Pookutty also replied to the tweet and shared he didn’t get work in the Hindi film industry after winning the Oscar. “Dear @shekharkapurask me about it, I had gone through near breakdown as nobody was giving me work in Hindi films and regional cinema held me tight after I won the Oscar... There were production houses told me at my face ”we don’t need you” but still I love my industry,for it....,” wrote Resul Pookutty.

She tweeted, “It's contemptible & disgraceful that a globally renowned maestro @arrahmanis being shunned through a planned contentious campaign by Bollywood camps. What is going on here?? Am shocked..but then maybe I'm not..”
While speaking to Radio Mirchi, AR Rahman said, “When Mukesh Chhabra came to me, I gave him four songs in two days. He told me, ‘Sir, how many people said don’t go, don’t go to him (AR Rahman) and they told me stories after stories.’ I heard that, and I realised, yeah okay, now I understand why I am doing less (work in Hindi films) and why the good movies are not coming to me. I am doing dark movies, because there is a whole gang working against me, without them knowing that they are doing harm.”
