Toronto, Feb 6 (IBNS) : Academy Award-winning music composer A.R. Rahman has now added another feather to his cap. The music director-producer-singer-songwriter will be wielding the megaphone for Le Musk, a virtual reality short. The music maestro has collaborated with Canadian company Ideal Entertainment, which will be partnering on three of his films - Le Musk, 99 Songs and One Heart- The A.R. Rahman Concert Film.

They announced the three films at Ideal Entertainment's media launch in Toronto on Thursday. Talking about his association with Ideal Entertainment, Rahman said, “I’m looking forward to continuing my collaboration with Ideal Entertainment because they truly understand the sensibilities of the audiences I’m trying to reach through my projects. On a personal level, I know the people at Ideal Entertainment have worked hard to come up in life, so they share the value, I put on hard work.”

John Tory, Toronto’s Mayor was also present at the event, and he not only raved about Rahman and his talent but also asked him to consider ‘establishing a third home in Toronto’. Tory said, “Mr. Rahman is a living music legend, whose talents have been celebrated worldwide, which inspire several lives. His endeavors span among local and international artistry music, dance and theater and his iconic work reinforces the need to celebrate the art and the entertainment scene in Toronto.”
