Overworked Rahman

But a collaboration with Dido and Usher is certainly on the cards.

It’s been a hectic, chaotic year for Rahman, who was named among the 100 most influential people in the world, by TIME magazine in 2009. “Nothing gets priority over anything else – I’m not ignoring Bollywood over Hollywood or vice versa,” Rahman says. “The priority is to do everything right!”

But at the moment, he says his complete focus is on his world tour that will kick off on June 11 at the Nassau Coliseum in New York, and span 16 cities worldwide, ending at the Wembley Stadium, London. Apparently, after working with the world’s best musicians on a charity single, Rahman was approached by “most of them” for collaborations.

But with his international world tour on the anvil, Rahman is yet to work on the music with these artistes.
