Contrary
to
reports
about
Monty
Sharma
being
under
pressure
to
deliver
the
right
background
music
for
Sawariya
the
podgy
versatile
composer
has
actually
started
work
on
the
non-vocal
aspect
of
the
film's
epic
music
on
Wednesday
August
1.
Says
a
source
very
close
to
the
project,
"Where's
the
question
of
Monty
being
pressurized
by
the
director
to
scrap
and
redo
the
background
music
when
in
fact
Monty
began
composing
Sawariya's
background
score
only
on
Wednesday
morning?" Prior
to
that
Sanjay
and
Monty
spent
more
than
one
year
finalizing
the
tunes,
vocalists
and
arrangements
for
all
the
songs.
Says
the
source,
"Though
the
music
of
Bhansali's
films
has
always
been
a
predominant
motif,
never
has
so
much
stress
been
put
on
putting
across
the
drama
and
emotions
of
the
script
through
the
songs.
There
are
love
songs,
mujras,
a
qawwalli...its
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali's
most
ambitious
score
ever."
No
wonder
the
most
eagerly-awaited
music
soundtrack
of
2007
is
undoubtedly
Sawariya.
Now
it
can
be
told.
Sawariya
has
a
total
of
12
songs
by
singers
as
varied
as
Alka
Yagnik,
Kunal
Ganjawala
and
Richa
Sharma.
Not
all
the
songs
will
feature
in
the
film.
Coming
back
to
the
background
score,
Monty
Sharma
has
already
proved
his
passion
and
prowess
in
the
non-vocal
arena
with
his
background
scores
for
Sanjay
Bhansali's
Devdas
and
Black.
"Monty
is
expected
to
take
at
least
the
next
two
months
to
compose
the
background
music.
That's
how
long
it
took
him
to
do
the
score
for
Black,"
adds
the
source.
The
music
will
be
released
in
September
while
the
film's
release
date
remains
unchanged
at
November
7.
A
separate
album
of
Sawariya's
background
score
is
expected
to
be
released
after
the
film's
release.
