Music Legend A.R. Rahman will soon have yet another feather added to his cap. The music maestro will be honored soon with a Lifetime Achievement award at the 8th Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF).

Having being the recipient of two Academy Awards and two Grammy Awards, the 45 year old music composer is the first musician to receive a Lifetime Achievement award at DIFF. Rahman will receive the award during DIFF to be held from December 7 to 14.

"A R Rahman is an inspiration for countless musicians and composers and has brought a fresh infusion of talent to the Indian film industry. Through his international foray, working with some of the world's most accomplished musicians, he demonstrated the power of music to cross all barriers and connect with a global audience," said Abdulhamid Juma, the festival's chairman.

"We are honoured to present Rahman with the DIFF Lifetime Achievement Award," he added.
