After Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire, Oscar award winning composer AR Rahman has signed another international film. The film titled Little Dragon has been directed by Shekhar Kapur. Little Dragon is said to be a biopic of the Hong Kong-American martial arts legend Bruce Lee.

The shooting of the film has already started few days back. Little Dragon narrates the social and political forces in Hong Kong during 1950's that helped Bruce Lee into an iconic martial arts star and philosopher. The film also showcases his clash with family, early love, friendship, betrayal, racism, poverty and the inner fire that threatened to unfold his future.

Jointly produced by Bruce Lee Entertainment, operated by Lee’s daughter Shannon Lee and Los Angeles-based Convergence Entertainment, the casting of Little Dragon will be done by US casting director, Mary Vernieu.
