Chennai, Wednesday 06 January 2010:Double Oscar-winner A R Rahman is looking forward to bring home his maiden Grammy award as he turns 44 today.

The composer who won two Grammy nominations for his soundtrack from “Slumdog Millionaire”, has never been the one for raucous celebrations and ringed in his birthday with close family and friends.

Last year, he scored soundtracks for Bollywood films “Dilli 6″ and “Blue” along with his maiden Hollywood venture “Couple’s Retreat”.
