With the Punjab and Haryana High Court coming down heavily on the lewd lyrics of songs sung by singer-rapper Honey Singh, the Punjab Police Friday booked him for singing vulgar songs in public.

A case was registered against the singer under provisions of Section 294 (singing, reciting or uttering any obscene song, ballad or words, in or near any public place) of the Indian Penal Code in Punjab's Nawanshahr town, some 80 km from here, a police official said.

The finale of the 12th season of American singing reality show "American Idol" will be shown live in India.

The grand finale, which will take place May 17, will also have a performance by pop sensation Psy and former judge Jennifer Lopez, who will launch her new single "Live it up" on the show, which will air on BIG CBS LOVE, said a statement.

Current judges Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj, Keith Urban and Randy Jackson will judge the ending of the season as contestants Candice Glover and Kree Harrison compete for the winner's title.

Oscar-winning composer A.R. Rahman, who managed to have a glimpse of one of the songs from superstar Rajinikanth-starrer Tamil period-drama "Kochadaiyaan", describes it as "epic".

"(I) had a sneak preview of Rajini sir's motion capture results for one of the songs from 'Kochadaiyaan'. (It) looks like animation on steroids! Epic," posted Rahman on his Twitter page.

Rahman has composed the music for the film, directed by Rajini's daughter Soundarya Ashwin.
