His father worked for Malayali MDs such as Salil Chowdury and Devarajan. He died on the day his first movie as MD was released.

He didnt, his mother did. She was a firm believer of horoscope and the name Abdul Rahman was suggested. The astrologer told her that he should use the initials AR and would then shoot to great heights. So, Dilip became AR Rahman.
AR was made Allah Rakka much later - by none other than Naushad Ali!
