Every now and then A R Rahman shares throwback photos and when he does, they turn out to be really epic ones. The Oscar-winning composer recently took a trip down memory lane and landed sometime in 1999. Rahman chanced upon an adorable photo of her daughter Khatija with megastar Rajinikanth. Khatija was just a baby then. "My little princess Khatija Rahman with Thalaivar," Rahman captioned his post. Trying to recall the year, Rahman said: "Padayappa, 1999 I guess." A R Rahman was the music composer of 1999 movie Padayappa, starring Rajinikanth and Sivaji Ganesan. Apart from Padayappa, A R Rahman has also composed music for Rajinikanth films such as Shivaji, Lingaa, Muthu, Enthiran and Kochadaiiyaan.
