Dileep Kumar, he took up the keyboard at a young age to support his family after his father's passing, eventually converting to Islam and adopting the name A.R. Rahman.

This launched a career that has spanned over 30 years and 300 soundtracks, earning him two Academy Awards, two Grammys, and a BAFTA for his work on Slumdog Millionaire .
