Scar-winning composer AR Rahman expressed his enthusiasm for exploring global music, emphasizing that music holds the power to shape society and that people today are "craving for good music and poetry".

"The world, unlike before when it was culturally protected, is much more open now. For example, we can play Indian notes on Turkish instruments, and people enjoy different sounds," he told PTI in an interview.

Recently, the 58-year-old composer used social media to connect with a Turkish string musician, a dhol player from Pune, and a classical vocalist from Lucknow.
