Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur recently speculated that music composer AR Rahman was shunned in Bollywood because of his Oscar wins. Rahman said that a ‘gang’ was spreading rumours against him in the Hindi film industry, to which Shekhar said, “You know what your problem is @arrahman? You went and got #Oscars . An Oscar is the kiss of death in Bollywood. It proves you have more talent than Bollywood can handle.”

Resul, who won the Academy Award for Best Sound Mixing, along with Richard Pryke and Ian Tapp, for Slumdog Millionaire, shared Shekhar’s tweet and said that he stopped getting work in Bollywood after winning an Oscar. “Dear @shekharkapur ask me about it, I had gone through near breakdown as nobody was giving me work in Hindi films and regional cinema held me tight after I won the Oscar… There were production houses told me at my face ‘we don’t need you’ but still I love my industry,for it,” he wrote.
