The film that stars Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai will go on the floors this July.

Apparently, Bhansali has taken up this job for the creative enhancement of his own cinema.

Bhansali feels that he has always been a musician at heart and thinks that he'd be more complete as a filmmaker by personally interpreting the musical emotions of his character.

A close friend of Bhansali said, “Sanjay has been toying with the idea for a long time. Even in his earlier films, he allowed professional composers to do the needful while he provided inputs that he thought would heighten his creative vision in musical terms. For Saawariya, which had music by Monty Sharma, Sanjay took credit as the composer for one song Hamari jaan ho tum. Entirely composing his film’s music was just a step away.”

Bhansali has already prepared four tracks out of total eight songs in the film.

One of the actors from Guzaarish said, “The songs Bhansali has recorded for Guzaarish have an old-world charm but at the same time are fiercely original. They redefine contemporary film music.”
