Sandesh reveals, “It’s a dream for a composer. My symphony, called the Search For Buddha, is based on world peace. I have worked out Hundred hours of music so far for the symphony, I had to connected with the western music.
 This began while I was learning the Vipassana course there, three years ago. After a bout of self-discovery, I decided to explore Buddha and his inner journey. Fear, anger and greed need to be controlled. Peace within helps you spread it through your music.”
 “I met Markus Stockhaousen — a famous jazz-trumpet player — with my compositions, who then referred me to the organisers of symphony in Cologne. Mine features artistes from all over the world, including from the Middle East and South Africa.
It was an unforgettable exposure, and I wish to perform this symphony in India soon.” With this, Sandesh will add his name to a prestigious list of Indian symphony composers like maestros Pandit Ravi Shankar, Pyarelal and Ilayaraja.

Sandesh also says, “It’s all destiny. People who have worked with me know my sensibility”, all good things come to people who wait, and keep at it.

His last composition for film music was for Ketan Mehta’s Rang Rasiya, a biopic about painter Raja Ravi Varma. “The film released late and didn’t do well, but its music was popular with those who heard it. Especially with my co-artistes in the symphony, who then welcomed me with open arms. Don’t set many rules, we don’t know what awaits us,” he maintains.
Sandesh swears, and adds that he is lucky to have the backing of a few good friends in the Bollywood music arena.
Currently, Sandesh is busy composing for Sudhir Mishra’s Aur Devdas, Time Out, John Abraham’s Satra Ko Shaadi and for Amit Roy’s IPad.

T-Series upcoming film ROY is surely one of the most anticipated films of 2015.

The film has great music to boast off, some stellar casting- Arjun Rampal, Jacqueline Fernandez & Ranbir Kapoor to be seen together in one frame.

We hear Arjun Rampal & Ranbir Kapoor bonded well on the sets of Roy, its fun to see two great actors on the sets enjoying and talking about everything under the sun.

A source close to the production team confirmed and said, "Arjun treats Ranbir as his younger brother and during the shoot in langkawi both these men wanted to go off for sailing, and their favourite pass time was fishing, while not shooting. As soon as they used to hear pack up , they would instruct the sailor to hop on and take them into the deep sea for fishing and bonded quite well!

Well! what do we say boys will be boys, wonder how many fish they actually got to catch

ROY Produced by Divya Khosla Kumar, Bhushan Kumar & Krishan Kumar, directed by Vikramjit Singh is scheduled to release on 13th February, 2015.

Kangana who recently shifted into a new apartment in the suburbs ,will be converting her private pool into a garden area and plans to personally tend to the gardening - Kangana feels strongly about saving water given that on premises access to clean water is something only one in four people have in India, according to UNICEF.

On international turf, Hollywood star Matt Damon too has strongly backed the cause and founded Water.org in 2009 that looks to provide clean water to developing countries. The actor in fact had visited Bangalore, Chennai and Pondicherry to address the global water crisis.
