The small (screen) has become so big - A.R. Rahman

Music maestro A.R. Rahman is back on television, as a composer for Ashutosh Gowariker's show "EVEREST" on Star Plus.

Having acted in the TV show "Wonder Balloon" in 1980, he says the medium has become very big ever since.

"I started with 'Wonder Balloon'. Since then, television has changed a lot. It has become so big... It has high-definition now", the Oscar-winning composer said at the promo and poster launch of "EVEREST".

"Ashutosh has given me so many good songs in his movies. It is a great start for me with Ashutosh and Star Plus", he said.

Rahman, who had earlier collaborated with Gowariker for his movies like "Lagaan", "Jodhaa Akbar" and "Swades", will now compose for the TV show, produced and written by the film-maker.
