Earlier IIFA honored AR Rahman as "Outstanding Indian Contributing to International Cinema"...Now, it's a double treat with the Best Music Director award for Guru as well...Also good to see a couple of awards for Guru apart from this...
Cheers, Madhavan.R Love, Music, Peace...and AR Rahman for Life.
