Jyothji Venkatesh

Sandesh Shandilya is most known for his work as a music composer in several films including Piya Basanti, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Chameli, and Jab We Met. The music director's lilting and soothing musical compositions in the recently released Shikara had received wide appreciation from all over. The film, directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, had the backdrop of Kashmir and Shandilya’s melodies paid a worthy tribute to the magnificent beauty of the place. The net result is that the sheer magic of the film’s music has now brought producer Ashwin Varde’s attention to Shandilya. The Kabir Singh producer recently called the music director to congratulate him on the melodious songs. Shandilya was pleasantly surprised when Varde then asked him to score the music of his next, yet untitled film. Says Shandilya, “It feels heartening when your work is appreciated and more so when it is rewarded like this.”

The music of Kabir Singh produced by Ashvin Varde, who used to be the Editor of the film glossy Stardust not very long ago, broke all records last year and also received the Filmfare Award for Best Music Album. That makes this gesture all the more special for the low lying music maestro, who has always beleievd in letting his work speak for itself instead of chasing the media to bag the limelight. Journalist turned producer Ashwin Varde says that he has offered Shandilya his next film purely because he finds his music refreshing and original. “Look at his Sandesh’s body of work,” he states. “He is one of the finest musical talents we have. He’s a true artist and his songs have an extra special touch. I am extremely happy and pleased to be working with him. I’m one hundred per cent sure that he’s going to create some exceptional music.”
