Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali had made his debut as the music composer for his last film, Guzaarish. The film received critical acclaim for Bhansali’s music. Now, this effort has helped him achieve two Global Indian Music Academy (GIMA) nominations for Best Debut (Film Music) and for Best Music Director of the Year.
He has been nominated alongside Lehmber Hussainpuri (Sadi-Gali – Tanu Weds Manu), Krsna (Rangrez – Tanu Weds Manu), Bhadwai Village Mandal (Mehngayi Dayain – Peepli [Live]) and Mamta Sharma (Munni Badnaam – Dabangg) in the Best Debut (Film Music) category.
In the Best Music Director category, others in contention with Bhansali are Salim Suleiman, Vishal-Shekhar, Pritam and Sajid Wajid and Lalit Pandit, among others.
Preparations for the award ceremony are underway as this year’s celebrations will take place at the Kingdom of Dreams in Gurgaon in September.
