Composers
Ajay-Atul
Gogavale
will
score
the
music
for
Ashutosh
Gowariker's
upcoming
period
film
"Panipat".
The
brother
duo
have
Marathi
films
such
as
"Natarang",
"Sairaat" and
Bollywood
movies
"Singham"
and
"Agneepath"
to
their
credit,
including
"Jogwa"
in
Marathi
for
which
they
received
National
Award
for
best
music
direction
in
2008.
"It
is
a
great
honour
for
us
to
work
with
a
great
director
like
Ashu
sir.
He
is
not
only
an
excellent
filmmaker
but
also
has
very
good
musical
sensibilities,
and
we
have
seen
that
through
all
his
films.
We
are
excited
to
be
a
part
of
his
next
magnum
opus
-
Panipat," Ajay-Atul
said
in
a
statement.
Gowariker
said
the
music
duo
have
the
"musical
sensibilities"
required
for
the
film.
"Ajay-Atul's
music
alternates
between
the
boisterous
and
the
rugged,
while
being
melodious
and
emotional
too.
They
have
musical
sensibilities
that
this
film
demands
and
I
am
excitedly
looking
forward
to
collaborate
with
them,"
he
said.
Rohit
Shelatkar,
who
is
co-producing
the
film
with
Gowariker
under
his
company
Vision
World,
is
excited
to
have
Ajay-Atul
on
board.
"Ajay
and
Atul
are
master
composers,
immensely
talented
and
also
have
a
natural
connection
with
the
theme
of
Marathi
pride.
I
am
delighted
to
have
them
compose
the
music
for
this
epic
film
of
Panipat
that
is
so
close
to
my
heart,"
Shelatkar
said.
The
film,
which
features
Arjun
Kapoor,
Kriti
Sanon
and
Sanjay
Dutt
in
pivotal
roles,
is
based
on
the
third
battle
of
Panipat
that
took
place
in
1761.
Arjun
plays
the
role
of
Maratha
leader
Sadashivrao
Bhau,
while
Sanjay
Dutt
is
portraying
Ahmad
Shah
Durrani.
"Panipat"
is
slated
to
release
on
December
6
next
year.
