A R Rahman has made a name for himself in Hollywood working with Danny Boyle.
Their first collaboration on 2008's Slumdog Millionaire won Rahman two Oscars including Best Original Score and Best Song.
While promoting his most recently Hollywood score in People Like Us, Rahman revealed that he would be composing part of the score Boyle is using in the 2012 summer Olympics.
'I’m already doing a track for him for the Olympics' Rahman said when asked if he thought he and Boyle would work together in the future.
'It’s one of the songs for the opening ceremony. It’s a secret.'
Boyle’s preparations for the opening ceremony have been the subject of much media attention in recent weeks.
The three-hour long extravaganza will be called Isles of Wonder and is inspired by Shakespeare’s The Tempest and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.
Paul McCartney has already confirmed his involvement in the production, and the electronic band Underworld will be writing original music for the opening ceremony as well.
Underworld composed the music for Boyle’s stage version of Frankenstein, which was performed at the Royal National Theatre in 2011.
