A R Rehman in Shekar Kapoor's film!

One does not know how aware people around the world are about Indian music, but music composer A R Rehman is very well known. His fame will be further enhanced by the film 'Elizabeth II.'

Shekar Kapoor who directed 'Bandit Queen,' is one of India's well known directors. His talent got him the film 'Elizabeth.' Little known information about the British queen was the story line of this film. Despite controversies, the film was nominated for an Oscar and is proof of Kapoor's talent.

It's a few years since 'Elizabeth' was released. Now the second part titled 'Elizabeth II' is also to be directed by Shekar Kapoor. A R Rehman who has composed music for English and Chinese films, is the music composer for this film.

It somehow seems to have come about that any film with historic content has Rehman as composer. 'Lagaan,' 'Water,' 'Subash Chandra Bose,' 'Rang De Basanthi' and now Jodha Akbar starring Hrithik Roshan have music composed by Rehman.. 'Elizabeth II' falls into this genre.

Will he continue to compose music for historical films?

"I am not seeking out historical films. It just happens that way."

Even his film assignments are the boons given to Rehman by god!
