MUMBAI: Singer-composer Shreyas Puranik assisted Sanjay Leela Bhansali on the music of Bajirao Mastani, Padmaavat and Malaal . He says working with the filmmaker and composer is a dream for every artiste.

"It's been a privilege to assist Sanjay Sir on the music of Bajirao Mastani , Padmaavat and now Malaal . This is my third movie with him and his vision and knowledge about different cultures are on a different level which reflects on each and every composition," Puranik told IANS.

On being asked about his first project with Bhansali, the young composer said, “Associating with Bhansali Sir is a dream for every artiste and mine got fulfilled when Sandeep Singh (ex CEO, Bhansali Productions) introduced me to Sanjay sir. I started as a music assistant and eventually got an opportunity to compose Gajanana for Bajirao Mastani .”

On his music for the forthcoming film Malaal , he shared, “ Malaal is a Mumbai-based love story depicting Maharashtrian culture. Sanjay sir believed in me and my music, and gave me an opportunity to compose and sing Naad Khula , which is a romantic track. 

"I have also sung Marathi rap in Aila Re , composed by Sanjay Sir and sung by Vishal Dadlani. It was an amazing experience to be a part of Malaal .”
