After Slumdog Millionaire, AR Rahman's next big project is Peter Billingsley's Couples Retreat, a Vince Vaughn-Kristen Bell starrer. The film, labelled as a romantic comedy, will go on floors shortly.
Rahman has already started work on the project and this will be his first mainstream Hollywood venture.
Voice it!
According to reports, Rahman will not just score for the film but also make lead actor Vince Vaughn croon. According to Hollywood tabloids, Rahman had a melody in mind, which he hummed for Vaughn. Apparently, Vaughn took to the tune immediately and started humming it as well. And that's when Rahman suggested that he lend his voice to the tune.
No Slumdog hangover
Rahman who recently travelled to US for a meeting with the studio executives, will soon record the song with Vince. Sources reveal, "The song has no hangover from the Slumdog tunes. They are totally different and Rahman will be working with western musicians and composers on the film."
Singing it
The Vaughn track is supposed to be a romantic song that he will sing to Kristen Bell during the movie. "It is not yet clear if he will sing the entire song or just a verse. That creative decision lies with Rahman and the director", says a report as per CNN, Asia show.
