Oscar winner AR Rahman will be composing for Danny Boyle for the opening ceremony of the Olympics this year! Rahman says, "I am doing a track for him (Danny) for the Olympics. It's one of the songs for the opening ceremony. It's a secret".
ARR and Danny have earlier worked together in 'Slumdog Millionaire' that won Rahman two Oscars - Best Original Score and Best Song in 2008. The duo later got together for '127 Hours' that received acclaim from across the globe and were nominated for these two categories.
