Oscars is taking an effect on ARR's future indian movies. He was supposed to do the songs for desire, but now he is doing only the BGM for Desire, the film starring Shilpa Shetty and a Chinese actor.
"The music of the film was to be given by A R Rahman, but due to prior commitments [including the Oscars], he will only provide the background score." http://specials.rediff.com/movies/2009/feb/18video1-on-the-sets-of-desire.htm Sath Murthy.
