Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who has charmed audiences through his flicks and compositions, has expressed his thoughts on creating the soundtrack for his forthcoming movie ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi,’ featuring Alia Bhatt.
Bhansali says, “I have always been passionate about music. I was fortunate enough to grow up in an era where great musicians like Lataji, Bagum Akhtar, Jagjit Singh and Rafi Saab were able to shape my understanding of the craft.”
He added “It was not just the singers that had a profound impact on my love for music but also the great music directors of Hindi cinema from the 1950s and 1960s who have been my biggest inspiration. “
Bhansali noted that as a composer, he has been privileged to work with artists such as Shreya Ghoshal, Arijit Singh, and Neeti Mohan, who have elevated the music to new heights.
“With ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’, I am very proud to introduce two new singers Janhvi Shrimankar (Dholida) and Archana Gore (Jhume Re Gori, Shiqayat). A big thank you to the lyric writers A.M Turaz and Kumar Ji and the arrangers Shail Hada (Dholida, Jab Saiyan, Jhume Re Gori, Shiqayat) Jacky Vanjari (Meri Jaan) and Raja Pandit (Muskurahat).”
Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Dr. Jayantilal Gada (Pen Studios) produced the picture, which is due to hit theatres on February 25.
