Guess who got the invitation to perform live at the Oscars this year? It's none
other than our man of the moment A R Rahman.
Rahman along with Bollywood singer Sukhwinder Singh has been invited to open
the 81st annual Academy Awards night, on February 21 in Los Angeles, with the
Oscar nominated song Jai ho from the film Slumdog Millionaire. Danny Boyle's
film Slumdog... that recently swept the Golden Globes and created a huge buzz
at the prestigious SAG awards is a favourite for the Oscars as well.
Meanwhile, Rahman is working on the song to adapt it to the live orchestra for
his stage performance. Famous Bollywood lyricist Gulzar, who has penned the
lyrics of Jai ho is also expected to make an appearance at the gala award
ceremony.
After winning India's first Golden Globe, A R Rahman once again created history
when his compositions Jai ho along with O Saaya received nominations for the
Best Original Song category this year at the Oscars. Rahman has also been
nominated for giving the Best Original Score for Slumdog Millionaire.
