Music maestro A.R. Rahman to compose for Bruce Lee biopic!

Oscar-winning composer A.R. Rahman has been roped in to compose the music for the Bruce Lee biopic, which is being directed by Academy Award nominated filmmaker Shekhar Kapur.

"A.R. Rahman is also doing the music for Bruce Lee," told Shekhar Kapur.

Shekhar Kapur is pre-occupied with the shoot of "Little Dragon", an authorised biopic of the martial arts legend and actor Bruce Lee.

The tale is a contemporary dramatisation of the 1950s Hong Kong social and political forces that shaped Bruce Lee into the most famous martial arts star and a significant modern day philosopher.

Shekhar Kapur told he is thrilled about the music that Rahman will compose for the project.

In the meantime, the filmmaker's young and gifted daughter Kaveri too is ready to do a single with Rahman.

"Kaveri and I are going to go to Chennai. She is doing a song with A.R. Rahman," Kapur told, adding that she will be recording a single and not any song for a film with the Mozart of Madras.

A teenager, Kaveri is Kapur's daughter with actress Suchitra Krishnamoorthi. She has already sung "Did you know", "Half a heart" and her newest track is called "Again".

I will make biopic on Bruce Lee, says Ram Gopal Varma!

After newsflash that Shekhar Kapur will co-produce and direct an authorized biopic of Bruce Lee, filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has told he will make a movie too due to his "obsessive fascination" with the martial arts legend and actor.

Varma also told he will release it at the same time as Kapur's film titled "Little Dragon".

Varma posted on Monday, "Just because of my devotional worship of Bruce Lee I am going to make his biopic and release it at the same time as Shekar Kapur's authorized one."

The filmmaker tells he has nothing against Kapur, whom he admires enormously. 

"I have nothing against Shekhar Kapur who I admire immensely but it's just my obsessive fascination for Bruce Lee," Varma further added. 

He also shared a link to his article titled "Bruce Lee is the one and only who I loved more than sex", posted on his Facebook page. 

Varma feels he can do justice to Lee's biopic. 

"In spite of the closeness of family and brilliance of Shekhar Kapur, I believe only I can do justice to his biopic," he posted. 

Varma claims he knows "tremendously more" about Bruce Lee than his daughter Shannon Lee, his wife Linda Lee and Kapur.

In the meantime, "Little Dragon" will be a contemporary dramatization of the 1950s Hong Kong social and political forces that shaped Bruce Lee into the most famous martial arts star and a significant modern day philosopher, reported variety.com on Monday.
