Oscar-winning music director A.R. Rahman says he is busy scripting a film that he also plans to co-produce, reported IANS.

There were reports that the Indian singer-composer, who has also composed the music of forthcoming film I, is planning to don the director's hat but he clarified: "I am not thinking about directing. I am scripting a film and also co-producing it. It's in the process."

Directed by Shankar, I is an upcoming Indian Tamil romantic thriller film which features Vikram and Amy Jackson leading an ensemble cast which includes Suresh Gopi, Upen Patel, Santhanam and Ramkumar Ganesan portraying pivotal roles.

Talking about the movie, Rahman said: "Shankar told me about this story 15 years back and since then he nurtured and worked on this story. I knew about this film so I did this film."

Rahman once again bagged an Academy Award nomination 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.
