The following year, 1993, saw a lot of new releases that made him more popular. His third film 'Pudhiya Mugam' with director Suresh Menon was also a success but was not in the same league as 'Roja'. It was his third film "Gentleman” with debutante director Shankar that firmly established him as the new king of Tamil film music. 'Gentleman' became a bigger hit than 'Roja' especially the song 'Chikku bukku rayile'. and two films in Telugu titled 'Super Police' and 'Gangmaster' , all of which were moderate successes. But his Telugu films have remained relatively unknown till date, inspite of having the classic Rahman touch in them.

His other films in Tamil in that and the subsequent year were 'Uzhavan'  with Kadhir, 'Kizhakku Cheemayile'  with Bharathiraaja, with both of whom he would work on many more films in the future, 'Vandicholai Chinnarasu', and 'Pudhiya Mannargal'. All the scores were only moderately successful. But it was his second score for Mani Ratnam in 'Thiruda Thiruda'  . Rahman redefined film music with his score in 'Thiruda Thiruda'. While the film itself did not do too well, the music became an all time chartbuster and the Tamil songs of 'Thiruda Thiruda' appeared on Hindi language countdown shows. It was for the first time that Tamil songs became popular on a national scale.
