The Playlist reports that Oscar winning composer A.R. Rahman of Slumdog Millionaire is set to score Couples Retreat, Peter Billingsley comedy starring Vince Vaughn, Jason Bateman, Jon Favreau, Malin Akerman, Kristin Davis, Kristen Bell and Faizon Love.

First Showing confirmed the report with Universal.  I am intrigued to see what Rahman will bring to the American comedy as a whole new creative inspiration to scoring films.  Take a listen to “Jai Ho” from Slumdog Millionaire and you’ll see what I mean.
