Ismail Darbar composes background score for Sanjay Dutt’s comeback film
Composer Ismail Darbar, who last worked in Subhash Ghai’ Kaanchi, has done the background music for Sanjay Dutt’s much-talked about film Bhoomi.
Composer Ismail Darbar is back in action in Bollywood. This time, he has composed the background score for Sanjay Dutt’s comeback film, Bhoomi. The film is being helmed by Omung Kumar. Ismail had last worked in Subhash Ghai’s Kaanchi: The Unbreakable (2014).
Ismail shares that he wanted to work on the film, and the artist got in touch with the makers and conveyed his wish. “I wait for the right film to come along. When I saw the rushes of Bhoomi, I was so touched and I told Sandeep Singh (the producer of the film) and Omung Kumar that I would do the background score. I have known the two for more than 15 years and they understand the kind of movies I enjoy giving music for. Music is my soul, it’s in my blood and Bhoomi touched the right chord,” says Ismail, who has earlier composed for films such as Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999), Devdas (2002) and Kisna: The Warrior Poet (2005).
Along with Sanjay Dutt, the revenge drama also stars Aditi Rao Hydari, Sidhant Gupta, Sharad Kelkar and Shekhar Suman. As Singh had already worked with Ismail before, he was more than happy to have him on board for Bhoomi. “We all love his music sense. He is a legend. I am so happy that he composed the background score for Bhoomi,” he says, adding that the music has come out really well.
