Man Behind Kesari’s Enthralling Background Music

Akshay Kumar’s Kesari has been running well at the box-office. The film is based on the true incident of the ‘Battle of Saragarhi’. Akshay Kumar can be seen in a complete Sikh avatar. Everything in the movie has been organized quite well and the music is also exceptional. There are rare occasions when the background music of any film is recognized and acknowledged. For a film to become a masterpiece, all of its little bits and pieces need to be at the right places. The background sounds play a vital role. In this film, Raju Singh is the man behind all that exhilarating background music. He is not new to the industry and is known for many of his background scores in Bollywood.

Raju has worked with Anurag Singh before Kesari on his film ‘Punjab 1984’ that won a national award. Anurag Singh is the director of Kesari, and Raju Singh is in complete awe of this director. Raju says,

I just love the way Anurag works on his films. He is such a versatile director, right from Jatt & Juliet which was a complete commercial entertainer to the serious drama Punjab 1984, Anurag had shown great versatility and sensibilities of all kinds of cinema. I enjoyed the process of music arrangements even in Kesari.

Raju went on praising the director saying that Anurag is among those directors that give so much importance to every aspect of filmmaking. Raju was brought on board and also started working before the shooting of the film began. Coincidentally, Raju and Akshay also go back a long way. He arranged music for many of Akshay’s films including his debut movie ‘Saugandh’, ‘Sainik’ and the ‘Khiladi Series’. And Raju says that his journey with Akshay has also been a great one and we can’t agree more after the great success of ‘Kesari’, that released on 21st March.
