It's always the stars behind stars that make the
stars or their films. So while we mostly know about the actors or the songs
that get popular, ever wondered who's responsible for the thrill and the
romance or the dhishoom dhishoom that our movies are so known for? It's the
magical works of background music composers.
So while Akshay Kumar starrer Kesari is raking in
the moolah with its recent release at the box office, there's one musical Sikh
who's played an instrumental role in the making of this film. We are talking
about composer Raju Singh who is known for film background music pieces in
Bollywood industry.
Having worked with the filmmaker of Kesari, Anurag
Singh in his Punjabi national award winning film, Punjab 1984, Singh has been a
great fan of the filmmaker ever since. "I just love the way Anurag works
on his films. He is such a versatile director, right from Jatt & Juliet
which was a complete commercial entertainer to the serious drama Punjab 1984,
Anurag had shown great versatility and sensibilities of all kinds of cinema. I
enjoyed the process of music arrangements even in Kesari," says Singh
while further adding, "Anurag is among those directors that give so much
importance to every aspect of filmmaking. I was brought on board and also
started working even before the shooting of the film began. Generally,
filmmakers shoot a lot of the film and then give it to the composers to piece
together the background tracks, however, Anurag wanted this film to be so
enriched with the Punjabi culture as it celebrates the bravura of the great
Sikh warriors who fought tooth and nail to protect their land, that he wanted
me to move along with my work as the shooting progressed. His expectations
brought out the best in me and I loved this challenge to bits!"
Clearly the teaming of Raju Singh and Anurag Singh
is working wonders, first the national award for Punjab 1984 and now the rave
reviews for Kesari!
Ironically, Raju Singh has also been associated
with Akshay Kumar's films and has been a part of Akhay's journey in the
industry. Right from Akshay's debut movie Saugandh to Kesari, Raju Singh has
arranged the background pieces for his films, "Coincidentally it's true
that my association with Akshay goes a long way. In fact I've worked in quite a
few of Akshay's films including the likes of Sainik, and then his famous
Khiladi series and now Kesari! It's been a great journey," says Raju
Singh.
