Indian
music
composer,
A
R
Rahman
is
in
high
demand
now.
Rahman,
who
gained
world
recognition
for
the
music
he
gave
in
the
movie
Slumdog
Millionaire
and
for
which
he
consequently
also
won
an
Oscar,
is
currently
busy
working
on
his
tour
'Jai
Ho!
The
Journey
Home
World
Tour".
Seems
like
the
musical
genius
of
this
country,
has
now,
earned
an
Australian
admirer.
Peter
Varghese,
who
is
the
Australian
High
Commissioner
to
India,
has
extended
an
invitation
to
Rahman
to
come
and
work
in
Australia.
The
intent
behind
this
is
to
strengthen
the
ties
between
the
two
countries
by
having
famous
Australian
directors
work
with
India"s
ace.
On
Monday,
May
24,
Varghese
spoke
at
the
preview
of
Australian
Film
Festival
2010
in
Chennai.
He
expressed
Australia"s
wish
to
strengthen
its
bond
with
India
and
its
film
industry.
He
said
that
the
Film
Festival
is
a
way
of
doing
so.
Varghese
also
suggested
that
A
R
Rahman
could
work
with
Baz
Luhrmann,
the
popular
Australian
director
with
whom
he
(Rahman)
is
friends
and
make
a
big
movie.
We
will
have
to
wait
and
see
if
the
'Mozart
of
Madras",
Rahman
accepts
Varghese"s
invitation
and
works
with
an
Australian
director
for
a
movie
and
if
it
indeed
does
something/
anything
to
strengthen
the
bond
between
India
and
Australia.
But
as
of
now,
people
all
across
North
America
and
Europe,
where
the
tour
is
going
to
take
place,
are
awaiting
Rahman"s
performance.
Rahman
and
a
troupe
of
singers
associated
with
the
tour
are
scheduled
to
perform
at
20
cities.
