In an interview given to Hindustan Times, AR Rahman said that a lot of hard work is required to compose any music. From working on new ideas to repeatedly revising the tunes and testing the entire composition, the composer has to go through many stages. According to him, by the time a work reaches the audience, it has been checked and corrected several times. In such a situation, there is no energy left to see every reaction and continuously think about it. He said that he puts his work in front of people and hopes that the audience will like it.
Rehman also told that his son keeps him informed about the discussions happening on social media. According to his son, sometimes people criticize something and sometimes the same people change their opinion or apologize. Rahman's view on this is simple. He says that he has done his work with full honesty and he hopes that people will appreciate his efforts. It is clear from his statement that he does not consider every comment on social media as the final evaluation of his work.
Actually, the song Mangal Rang of Ramayana has been in the news since its release. Some social media users have compared it with the popular song Kun Faaya Kun from the 2012 film Rockstar. Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal have lent their voices to this song. At the same time, some viewers have raised questions by describing the presentation of Mangal Rang as like Qawwali. Different opinions are emerging regarding the tune of the song and the style of music. However, it is normal for audiences to have different tastes in the music of a film and the final reaction may change even after watching the film.
There has also been debate regarding a scene shown in the video of the song. It shows the actress playing the role of Sita along with Ranbir Kapoor's character Ram during the Haldi ceremony. Some users objected to the scene, saying it should have been shown in line with traditional Hindu customs. No official comment has come from the makers of the film on this issue. In such a situation, this controversy is currently limited to the ongoing discussions on social media.

There is a lot of curiosity among the audience about Ramayana directed by Nitesh Tiwari. Work on the film has been going on for many years and the hard work of its actors and technical team is also being discussed. According to the report, the film is getting good initial response during advance booking in markets like America, Britain and Australia. However, the real success of the film can be judged only by the audience response and box office performance after its release. Currently, AR Rahman's statement and the ongoing debate regarding the songs have further intensified the discussion about the film before its release.
