AR Rahman's 'Aadujeevitham' missed Grammy for this one small reason!
What's the story
In a recent interview with Connect Cine, Oscar and Grammy-winning composer AR Rahman revealed why the soundtrack for Prithviraj Sukumaran's Aadujeevitham (The Goat Life) didn't qualify for the Grammy Awards. The film was disqualified as its soundtrack was one minute short of the required length. "I did Goat Life for Blessy [director]." We released four tracks and because it was one minute less or something, it didn't qualify for the Grammy entry," Rahman explained.
