Overview
- Rahman posted on X that he and writer Rupa Chakravarty are co‑authoring an autobiography titled Rahman: A Renaissance, confirming the project on September 1, 2026.
- He said the book will offer a closer look at the music, ideas, challenges and influences that have shaped his more than three‑decade career.
- No publisher, release date or further publication details have been announced and Rahman wrote that more information will follow.
- This will be Rahman’s first autobiography; an authorised biography by Krishna Trilok was published in 2018 and Rahman’s career highlights include Roja (1992) and Oscar‑winning work on Slumdog Millionaire (2008).
- The announcement arrives as Rahman remains in the public eye after a 2024 separation and recent controversy over comments that he may have lost projects because he is Muslim, a context that could shape reader interest and the book’s reception.
