The master blaster, who had had a word with A R Rahman a couple of days ago, was confident that the musical genius will walk away with the honours.

"Rahman's contribution to music has been immense and this award is only a mere reflection of what he has been able to contribute to music and to India.

"I had spoken to him not only about this, but about other albums as well. He has always been able to produce something special in every album," Tendulkar said.u00a0

Rahman won two Oscars - for the best original score and the best song.
