National Award winning music director A. R. Rahman has composed the tunes for a Chinese film titled 'Warriors Of Heaven And Earth'.
Starring Jiang Wen, Zhao Wei and Wang Xueqi in the leading roles, the film revolves around a caravan during the reign of China's Tang dynasty, passing through the western territories, that has a sacred bone of the Buddha.
Film's director He Peng says that he decided to sign Rahman for the movie after hearing his score for Andrew Lloyd Webber's hit musical play 'Bombay Dreams'.
The director even had the Chinese singer Jo Lin fly to Chennai in July to work on the project with Rahman. The music compositions are over, but the final mixing is currently being done in Chennai.
Rahman has won the National Award for his music in films like Roja, Minsara Kanavu, and Lagaan. He had recently won his fourth National award for Mani Ratnam's Kannathil Muthamittal.
