Vishal-Shekar's one of the most chartbusting compositions happens to be 'Dus Bahane' from Anubhav Sinha's Dus. They have also composed for Sinha's next Cash so expectations are naturally rife. "I don't want to compare but we always hope that we make songs that make the country mad. Cash has dhamakedar item songs. Anubhav briefed us that he is making an action film and wants an action soundtrack. Post that he gave us absolute freedom".

The next on the list is De Taali, a film directed by E Niwas. "De Taali is a fun young film about friends. The music reflects that as well. The music is very different and has a lot of energy. It's got a very different sound."

On number three is Sujoy Ghosh's fantasy film Alladin. "Alladin has some of the most beautiful love songs that we have every composed", claims Vishal

And finally Tashan! The title itself sounds so dynamic. So how has it been working on the film? "Tashan is the most radical music of the lot. It's like hardcore Indian music with Indian melodies but with an urban edge to it. And I am getting to go back to my rock roots as the director. Victor (Vijay Krishna Acharya, director of Tashan) is a rock and roller. So we are enjoying the same kind of mad sound. The music of Tashan is crazy, and that's what I am working on right now for another ten days."

What's happening on the album they were to compose for Abhishek Bachchan? "It's not a commercial project as such. We are just having fun and let's see where it goes. It's an authentic hip hop album. It's really got that vibe. Abhishek has sung all the songs. We are learning new things about Abhishek's vocal talent."

So what next are we going to get from the talented team? "Isn't this enough", queries Vishal. "We do one thing at a time. We finished Om Shanti Om then we are doing Tashan. De Taali was finished before Om Shanti Om and Cash was done before De Taali. So right now we are exclusively working on Tashan."
