MUMBAI: Music producer-singer Gaurav Dagaonkar is all set to compose for an upcoming Bollywood film ‘Babumoshai Bandookbaaz’

Confirming the reports Gaurav said, “This is an action comedy, which has some dark humour as well. The music is completely different what I have done in the past. The sound is an amalgamation of rustic and raga based tunes. There are some quirky numbers that fit the characters of the film.”
