Music composer A R Rahman has bagged a trophy for providing background music to Malayalam movie "The Goat Life" at the 2024 Hollywood Music in Media Awards (HMMA).

The Oscar-winning composer won the award for score – independent film (foreign language) at a ceremony held at the Avalon Theatre in Los Angeles.

Blessy, the director of the Prithviraj Sukumaran-starrer film, received the award on Rahman's behalf at the ceremony.

"The Goat Life", based on the 2008 bestselling novel "Aadujeevitham" by Benyamin, was a "labour of love", said the composer.

Rahman was also nominated in the 'Song-Feature Film' category for the track "Periyone", performed by Jithin Raj, but lost to musician HER's track “The Journey” from "The Six Triple Eight".
