It's
a
double
celebration
time
for
music
director
A
R
Rehman
as
he
will
celebrate
his
birthday
with
the
pleasure
of
being
selected
in
Oscar's
short
list.
Three
of
his
songs
have
made
it
to
the
Oscars
short
list
of
56
songs.
'Khalabali'
and
'Lukka
Chuppi'
from
Rang
De
Basanti
and
'Chan-Chan'
from
Water
have
been
short
listed
for
the
56
songs
on
the
Oscar
list.
Lagaan's
music,
however,
has
been
eluded
from
the
Oscar,
something
on
which
Rehman
had
more
hopes.
Rehman
will
turn
41
in
coming
January.
He
shares
his
birthday
with
his
son,
who
will
turn
four
on
the
same
day.
Rehman
feels
honored
that
3
of
his
songs
have
been
selected
from
the
56
songs
on
the
list.
He
added
that
the
global
approach
towards
Indian
films
and
music
has
changed.
Also
modestly
he
went
on
to
share
the
credits
with
Lata
Mangeshkar
claiming
that
she
was
the
reason
for
Lukka
Chuppi
getting
selected
from
Rang
De
Basanti.
