His defeat in the Oscars this time has not made Rahman upset. The music maestro is in fact happy that Randy Newman bagged the honour for his work in ‘Toy Story 3’.

Interestingly, Rahman’s son Ameen, who is a budding singer too, actually wanted Randy’s track to win. And this has been revealed by none other than the Mozart of Madras himself.

“My son Ameen and me saw ‘Toy Story 3’ a couple of months back. When the Academy Award nominations for songs came in, he said he wanted Toy Story’s song to win. It came so naturally from him,” Rahman wrote on his social networking page.

Meanwhile, sources have it that Rahman is now getting ready for ‘Rana’, Superstar Rajinikanth’s next film, to be directed by K S Ravikumar and produced by Ocher Studios in association with Eros International.
