"Clarifying the report on the Olympics track I am composing... It's a track in Punjabi celebrating the Indian influence in the UK," Rahman, who worked with Boyle in Oscar-winning film 'Slumdog Millionaire' and '127 Hours', posted on his Facebook page.

"It's a part of a medley in the Olympics opening ceremony, according to Danny Boyle's creative wishes!" he added.

AR Rahman revealed that it will be a Punjabi song celebrating Indian influence in Britain.

It has also been reported that music composer Ilayaraja's composition "Naanthaan ungappanda", from Kamal Hassan's 1980 film "Ram Lakshman" will be a part of the opening ceremony too.

The 2012 London Olympics will be held July 27 to Aug 12.
