Oscar winner AR Rahman will be composing music for Fox Star Studios' Hindi adaptation of 2014 Hollywood film The Fault In Our Stars.

"When I heard the narration of the Indian adaptation of The Fault In Our Stars, especially how music is so beautifully woven into the narrative, I got quite excited. I am looking forward to creating music for this heart-warming venture," says the composer.

Rahman and the studio had earlier teamed up for the Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire.

Sushant Singh Rajput has been signed on to play the lead and popular casting director Mukesh Chhabra will direct the upcoming musical romance. The female lead of the film is yet to be finalised. 

"It is truly encouraging and a boost for a debutant director like myself to have AR Rahman Sir on board," says Mahesh Chhabra.
