Music maestro AR Rahman has reason to be proud not only professionally but also personally.His six-year-old son Alim has sung a complete song in upcoming Hollywood romantic comedy ‘Couples Retreat’.

Directed by Emmy nominated Peter Billingsly (The Sacred Fire), and releasing on October nine, it is about four couples who go to a tropical island for vacation.

Shot in Tahiti and USA, it stars MTV Award winner Vince Vaughn (Wedding Crashers), Golden Globe winner Jason Bateman (Arrested Development), Golden Globe nominated Kristin Davis (Sex and the City), Malin Akerman (Watchmen), Satellite Award winner Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars), etc.

Music maestro A. R. Rahman himself provides the music for this film. Alim wants to be a playback singer when he grows up and his parents are very proud of his debut performance.

It has been said earlier that Rahman’s children lent their voice for the chorus sections of a few songs, most notably “Dhinam Dhinam Deepavali” in ‘Varalaaru’. But the composer is known to be highly protective of his children, not exposing them to the public eye.

But with this song and his son, he surely has signalled the arrival of gen next.
