Shujaat Husain Khan, world renowned sitarist and Grammy Award nominee, has for the first time in his career scored music for a Bollywood film, Mr. Singh Mrs. Mehta. His father, Ustad Vilayat Khan, had also composed music for one film – Satyajit Ray’s Jalsaghar (Bengali). Besides composing the music in Mr. Singh Mrs. Mehta, Shujaat Husain Khan has also lent his voice to one song (Ae khuda). The sitarist says that he had in the past too been approached to score music for films but he had to decline every offer as filmmakers invariably wanted him to compose tunes for item numbers.
