Danny Boyle’s father not impressed,but lauds Rahman’s music

‘Slumdog Millionaire’ won eight Oscars awards with two going to music maestro A R Rahman.

He said: “I think it’s reasonable. He is not making films for me. He is making them for younger film goers so I won’t say anything more about it. I really liked the music I thought it was wonderful.

“I always knew that Danny would be successful but I never thought he would be the number one director in the world. He has always been interested in films. He got into it when he was a boy”.

But Boyle’s twin sister,Maria,is delighted by her brother’s success. She told The ‘Daily Telegraph’: “It was a tremendous night at the Oscars,we’ve not spoken to him yet although we sent a text.

“We did speak to him yesterday afternoon and the kids were in a limo on the way to the ceremony. It was fantastic to see him up there and great that he spoke about us because he had a lot of people to thank. I can’t believe he referred to Radcliffe.”
