This initiative by Rahman is a tribute to the hard work and dedication of the lightmen, who are an integral part of the filmmaking process. Often working long hours in challenging conditions, they play a crucial role in ensuring that the lighting is just right, creating the perfect ambiance for each scene. Despite their essential role, however, they are often undervalued and underpaid.

Through his music, Rahman hopes to draw attention to the plight of lightmen and provide them with the financial support they need.
