MUMBAI: The sequel to Vishesh Films' Raaz, that had composer duo Nadeem Shravan creating a hit score, will have a team of composers working on the score this time. While Raaz' music rights lay with Tips, the music rights of Raaz - The Mystery Continues have been acquired by Sony BMG.
The Sabri brothers, Sharid and Toshi, both participants of reality shows, will mark their debut in the Hindi film industry with this movie.
Sharid Sabri, Raju Singh and Pritam have already composed their songs for the film. The album will have six tracks, three composed by Raju Singh, two composed by Sharid (which is both sung by Toshi Sabri), the other two composed by a new comer. The number of remixes in the album is not yet decided.
Out of the three tracks of the album that Raju Singh has composed, two are romantic ballet versions and the third track is a dance number. Sonu Nigaam and Neeraj Shridhar have sung for one ballet, while the other ballet is sung by Krishna. The dance number composed by the composer is sung by KK.
Talking about the genre of the song, Raju Singh said, My music in the movie includes a lot of ethno music with guitar and other elements in the music. I have finished the recording of my tracks and now the background scores of the movie are on the pipeline....
Sharid's music, rendered by Toshi will work on a very different genre with a mixture of sufi, western and many other elements in the tracks.
I cannot define the genre of the songs as the result that has come out of them is very surprising. I won't be surprised after the songs are released they are categorized in a new genre,... says Toshi.
After Jannat, this is the second movie that is under the Sony BMG banner.
We have a multiple album deal with Vishesh Films and we know that we have tied up with the very best in the industry. It will be an out and out commercial music venture with an aesthetic treatment. Raaz – The Mystery Continues will continue the tradition of Raaz and we are confident that it will be an all time Classic album which will set benchmarks,... says Sony BMG spokesperson.
"The music label has planned an aggressive Music marketing plan which will be promoted across multiple platforms to ensure the highest recall for the album."
The film is directed by Mohit Suri and stars Emraan Hashmi, Kangana Ranaut and Adhyayan Suman. The movie is dated to release on 23 January 2009.
