AR Rahman on Golden Globe list
Press Trust of India
New Delhi, Dec. 12: Reaffirming his status as a global artiste, music director
AR Rahman has received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Score for
British director Danny Boyle’s film Slumdog Millionaire, about a Mumbai
teenager’s rags-to-riches story.
“It is good to hear about all these nominations,” Rahman said on the sidelines
of a Press conference.
“I always feel that I am just one of the elements and then combining it with
other elements it becomes something else. So with the same instinct I had done
the music in two to three weeks,” he said.
The film has also bagged nominations for Best Picture-Drama, Best Director for
Boyle and Best Screenplay for writer Simon Beaufoy at the 66th edition of the
awards, which will be announced on 11 January in Los Angeles.
Boyle’s film is based on the book Q and A by Indian author Vikas Swarup. It
details the story of a slum-dweller, Jamal, who wins Rs 2 crore at the reality
game show Kaun Banega Crorepati.
The film was extensively shot at various locations in Mumbai, including
Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, which was hit by terrorists last month.
Earlier this week, the film won two awards from the Los Angeles Film Critics
Association ~ Best Director for Boyle and Best Music for Rahman. It also won
the runner-up prize for Best Cinematography for Anthony Dod Mantle.
The film is expected to be a strong contender for the Oscar race as the Golden
Globes are often assumed as a key indicator to the Oscars.
