Oscar-winning Indian composer AR Rahman is set to attend the high-profile premiere of Melania, a new documentary on former US First Lady Melania Trump, at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC on January 29 (ET), NDTV reported. Rahman’s presence is among the notable international highlights of the event, which will also host prominent figures including FIFA President Gianni Infantino, hip-hop artist Waka Flocka Flame, and Jordan Belfort, whose life inspired The Wolf of Wall Street. Political dignitaries expected at the premiere include former New York City Mayor Eric Adams, US Second Lady Usha Vance, and several members of former President Donald Trump’s cabinet. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent are also scheduled to attend. The documentary focuses on the 20 days leading up to Donald Trump’s second presidential inauguration and provides a behind-the-scenes look at Melania Trump during a politically pivotal period. It had an earlier private screening at the White House on January 24, attended by Donald and Melania Trump, their son Barron, and select invited guests. Directed by Brett Ratner and produced by Fernando Sulichin and Marc Beckman, the documentary also lists Melania Trump as one of its producers. Amazon MGM Studios is handling the release of the film. Despite anticipation for the US premiere, advance ticket sales for screenings in London have been weak, with minimal bookings reported across both independent cinemas and major multiplexes, according to The Guardian. Nevertheless, the Washington DC premiere remains a major international event, with Rahman’s attendance highlighting the global appeal of the documentary.   With inputs from NDTV
