A R Rahman nominated for Golden Globes

Music Maestro AR Rahman has been nominated for the 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards, which were announced last evening. He is nominated in the Best Music category for Danny Boyle's 127 Hours.

127 Hours also bagged nominations for Best Actor (Drama) and Best Screenplay.

After the success of Slumdog Millionaire, Boyle had once again teamed up with Fox Searchlight Pictures, producer Christian Colson, writer Simon Beaufoy and Rahman for the action drama starring James Franco.

The film is the true story of mountain climber Aron Ralston's (played by Franco) adventure to save himself after a fallen boulder crashes on his arm and traps him in an isolated canyon in Utah.

Over the next five days Ralston examines his life and survives the elements to finally discover he has the courage and the wherewithal to extricate himself by any means necessary, scale a 65 foot wall and hike over eight miles before he is finally rescued.

Throughout his journey, Ralston recalls friends, lovers (Clemence Poesy), family, and the two hikers (Amber Tamblyn and Kate Mara) he met before his accident; wondering if they will be the last two people he ever had the chance to meet.

127 Hours is slated for release in India in January 2011 by Fox Star India.

Fox Star Studios India CEO Vijay Singh said, "A R Rahman being nominated once again for his brilliant music score in the film makes it very special for every Indian. We are looking forward to the January release and believe that the Indian audiences will appreciate this film just like Slumdog Millionaire.

The 44 year old singer won his first ‘Golden Globe Award’ last year in the same category for his excellent music in ‘Slumdog Millionaire’. He also won two ‘Oscars’ for his score in the same flick.

Directed by the British filmmaker Danny Boyle, ‘Slumdog Millionaire’, the Mumbai based potboiler, had 10 ‘Academy Awards’ nominations, out of which, it won eight.

Rahman, fondly known as the ‘Mozart of Madras’, has also been honored with ‘Padma Bhushan Award’ this year.
