AR Rahman: Global tunesmith

With more than a hundred movies to his credit and countless hit songs in his native India, it is no surprise that composer AR Rahman has been dubbed "the Mozart of Madras".

The Chennai-born 42-year-old is earning yet more plaudits as the man behind the soundtrack for Danny Boyle's hit movie Slumdog Millionaire.

Having won a Bafta film award on Sunday for best original score, he is now waiting to see if he will receive the same accolade when the Academy Awards are held in Los Angeles on 22 February.

He also has two nominations in the best song category for his exhilarating anthems Jai Ho and O Saya - the latter featuring British hip-hop artist MIA.
