However A.R. Rahman is collaborating with Danny Boyle once again after slumdog millionaire. Rahman has composed a special punjabi number to rock the crowd.

Rahman tweeted, “It’s a track in Punjabi, celebrating the Indian influence in the UK. It’s a part of a medley in the Olympics opening ceremony, according to Danny Boyle’s creative wishes!”
