Interestingly, AR Rahman also revealed things that annoy him. The Ponniyin Selvan composer, who is known for his patience and humbleness, said that with age his tolerance had gone down. And the two things which annoy him are a selfie request with a timer and directors who lead him astray.
Elaborating on the latter, he candidly stated that the director often add crazy lyrics, which eventually makes him question himself, “‘Would I want to perform this on stage?’ If the answer is no, I turn it down.”
