New Delhi: After assisting composers for two decades, Raja Pandit has finally independently directed the soundtrack for the upcoming film ‘Jeet Lengey Jahaan’ and thanks his father, well-known qawwali singer Sambhu of Shanker-Sambhu fame, for music lessons.
"Yes, I have taken lessons in music from my father and guru Sambhuji. I have learnt Hindustani classical and Western music from him. I have also learnt bhajans, geet, tappa, thumri, Sufi and qawwali from him," Raja said in an interview.
The composer also revealed that he has worked with composers like Jatin-Lalit, Roop Kumar Rathod and Pritam. When asked how he got this offer, he said: "I was on the sets of music reality show `Sa Re Ga Ma Pa` with Sanjay Leela Bhansali when his movie `Guzaarish` was to be released. And that is when Lalit S.M. Bisht, the director of the film, saw me playing the guitar. I met him and he liked my melodies that I had composed and this is how I got the film." The seven songs composed by Raja have been sung by Shankar Mahadevan, Shreya Ghosal, Shaan, Shail Hada and Pradeep Pandit. Raja has also lent his voice for a song. The film, based on real-life incidents, has been produced by Sanju Singh and is written and directed by Bisht.
