Known composer and singer AR Rahman has been grabbing headlines lately. His comments about not getting work, power dynamics, and `communal` bias in the industry went viral. Amid this controversy, an old video interview of Ram Gopal Varma went viral, in which he claimed that the Oscar-winning song Jai Ho from Slumdog Millionaire was composed by Sukhwinder Singh and not Rahman. However, the filmmaker, on Wednesday, took to X (Twitter) to reveal that he is being `misquoted`.

RGV claims he was misquoted

The controversy resurfaced after a video from an old interview with RGV went viral. Responding to the discussions, Varma posted on X, writing, "To all concerned... I am being misquoted and misread out of context in the matter of the Jai Ho song... In my view @arrahman is the greatest composer and the nicest human being I ever met and he’s the last person to take away anybody’s credit. I hope this puts an end to the negativism surrounding the issue (sic)."
