What is Secret Mountain?
In February last year, Rahman posted a video on YouTube that introduced Secret Mountain. It tells the story of a young woman called Luna who is transported to the world of Secret Mountain, where she meets different musical characters from various cultural backgrounds.
In the video, Luna says, “Hey, I’m Luna, let me tell you a story. Like most of us, I have been wandering the jungles of instant gratification, dooms of scrolling.” Secret Mountain is described as a ‘Meta band’ on the website, adding that Rahman’s own musical compositions serve as the ‘heartbeat’ for it.

Rahman recently received praise for his compositions for Chhaava, Kadhalikka Neramillai, and Thug Life. He is now collaborating with Hans Zimmer to compose the music of Nitesh Tiwari’s Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash-starrer Ramayana films.
