Oscar winner A R Rahman will be felicitated by Cine Musicians Union (CMU) upon his return to the country on March 1st. The members of the union amount to about 1500 artists and they will be the first to felicitate Mr Rahman upon his arrival back to India. According to the body's chairman S A Rajkumar, "This will be the start of a long series of functions in India that Rahman has graciously agreed to attend. In a way, it is a fitting tribute as he began his career here and is one of our esteemed members, whose music and Oscar victory represent the whole nation's pride and honour," .
