Earlier in these columns we had given details about a proposed cameo by the Oscar Winning music composer A R Rehman in a Malayalam film. But the ever shy Rehman denied the issue.

As per a rumours, the Malayalam film was to be directed by Shajoon Kariyal and co-produced by Biju Menon, who also plays a lead role in the film. The film is about five friends and Biju is one of them. As per the story, he works in the music troupe of A R Rehman. To make the film lively Rehman's consent was awaited. But sources close to the musician confirmed that as of now the stalwart is not into acting in any language film.

Rehman is already filled with major films across the globe. Will he have time for this cameo, was a big question on the minds of his fans as the rumour started gaining popularity, earlier. However, had he agreed, his fans would have loved his onscreen presence. (With inputs from internet-AW AarKay)
