India’s pride, AR Rahman and Kannada Super Star Upendra, had reacted on Aamir Khan and his wife’s statements about growing intolerance in the country.

In the past, when Rahman composed music for ‘Muhammad: Messenger of God’, an Iranian film. A few alleged that, the title was humiliating to the prophet and immediately both Delhi and UP Chief Ministers had cancelled Rahman's concerts at the last minute.

Even Vishwa Hindu Parishad called up Rahman, to re-convert to Hinduism, saying that was time for his ‘ghar wapsi’.

Rahman had attended NFDC’s Film Bazaar at the 46th International Film Festival of India (Iffi) at Panaji, and it was there, he referred to the situation above and said he too had faced intolerance and insisted that people, not to be violent in a civilized society.

“Nothing should be violent. We're all ultra-civilized people and we should show the world that we are the best civilization,” the academy award winner said.

Speaking about the artists returning their awards against the growing intolerance, Rahman said, “Everything should be done classily. I feel what people are doing is very poetic. We should set an example for the world because we come from the land of Mahatma Gandhi; he has shown how a revolution can have an impact without any violence.”

It seems, Rahman had tried to balance the situation, without leading to the controversy. So it should be seen, how his comments would be received by his followers.
