Saregama strikes a long-term music deal with Sanjay Leela Bhansali

Music label Saregama and filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali have collaborated. The label will be associated with three of his upcoming projects. These projects will be the much-awaited Alia Bhatt-starrer Gangubai Kathiawadi, Bhansali’s yet-untitled directorial and his first non-film Hindi original album that has music composed by him.

Talking about the partnership, Sanjay Leela Bhansali said, “A childhood memory of mine is of listening to the golden classics of Hindi cinema that the Saregama library holds and imagining my own world of stories around it. These songs and the music have been an essential part in my formative years. I’m glad that the music of three of my most zealous projects in the near future will add to this rich legacy of Saregama. This is a special collaboration for me, and one which is personal.”

Vikram Mehra, Managing Director, Saregama India, says, “There is history that breathes in the golden libraries of Saregama. And we believe history is about to be made again with our partnership with Sanjay Leela Bhansali. In today’s modern times of Hindi cinema, few raconteurs have come close to the consistent brilliance that he has shown in his movies and the music that he composes. His music sense is unparalleled – it imparts his stories a narrative purpose, and the songs stand on their own as that which transcend the immediate to find a more permanent place in our hearts. Saregama has preserved the work of some of the biggest talent from our music and film industry, and what an apt addition this will be.”
