AR Rahman has expressed hope that 'Dam 999', which
was nominated in the Best Film and Best Original Song categories at the
84th Academy Awards, will bring laurels to the nation just as he did for
his work in Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire.

Speaking at the music launch function of the film 'Ek
Deewana Tha' (Hindi version of 'Vinnaithandi Varuvaya') in Agra, the
Oscar-Grammy winner said, "I was very excited to hear about Dam 999.
Hariharan (singer) texted me about it. I know Ousephachan, we have
worked together. I pray at least one of the songs wins an Oscar because
the film's music is brilliant."
"It's very exciting and I want someone to join my
league," Rahman told reporters on the sidelines of the music launch of
'Ek Deewana Tha'.
On reports that he was denied permission to perform
in front of Taj Mahal, Rahman said, "I am here for the film's music
release, not to perform live. Even I was shocked when I heard that I was
supposed to perform. I don't know who spreads these rumours."
He added: "I wanted my audience to look at the beauty
of Taj and not stare at me when my songs were played. Coming to Taj is
like coming back home."
