He has also composed music for Shankar's forthcoming Tamil film I.

"I have done almost twelve movies in 2014 and it's like a workout for me and my team. I think it is one of my happiest years," the music maestro said Monday during the press conference of Tamil film I.

"Whether it's Hollywood--where I did three movies (including Million Dollar Arm and The Hundred-Foot Journey or Tamil films where I worked with Shankar (in I), Rajinikanth (Kochadaiiyaan and Lingaa), it's been a great year," he added.

Meanwhile, Rahman is once again in the race for an Academy Award this year. His work for Million Dollar Arm, The Hundred-Foot Journey and Indian film Kochadaiiyaan are part of the long list released by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on its website recently.
