<br />
Days after <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-AR-Rahman-on-not-doing-many-Bollywood-films-There-is-a-gang-working-against-me-316167">AR Rahman spoke out about how he lost out on work</a> because of a 'gang' working against him, Oscar-winning sound designer Resul Pookutty too has alleged that he did not get work in Bollywood after he won the Academy award in 2009.<br />
<br />
Pookutty said that he nearly had "a breakdown" after nobody showed interest in working with him in the Hindi film industry post his win at the Academy Awards.<br />
<br />
Pookutty took to Twitter in response to a statement by filmmaker Shekhar Kapur. "Dear @shekharkapur ask me about it, I had gone through near breakdown as nobody was giving me work in Hindi films and regional cinema held me tight after I won the Oscar... There were production houses told me at my face" we don`t need you" but still I love my industry, for it....," said the sound designer in his tweet.<br />
<br />
His tweet came after Kapur on Sunday tweeted an excerpt from a radio-based interview of music maestro AR Rahman.<br />
During the interview, Rahman was asked why he works more frequently in Tamil cinema than in Hindi films. To which he replied, "I don`t say no to good movies, but I think there is a gang, which due to misunderstandings, is spreading some false rumours."<br />
<br />
Kapur, in a tweet, said that Rahman often faced difficulties in the Hindi film industry because of his Oscar wins. "You know what your problem is @arrahman? You went and got #Oscars. An Oscar is the kiss of death in Bollywood. It proves you have more talent than Bollywood can handle...," Kapur tweeted on Sunday.</p>

He tweeted, "@shekharkapur... and much later when I discussed this with my @TheAcademy members friends they told me about #OscarCurse! It`s faced by everybody!
