One of the biggest challenges in making Veer – Zaara was the creation of its music. <br><br><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>I heard a lot of leading composers of today, and, though, all are so talented, I found something missing, something did not click. I needed music with old world charm, tunes that traversed a 22 year time span, across two distinct ambiences of India and Pakistan, but most of all a very soulful and yet Indian feel to it. <br><br><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>One day, Sanjeev Kohli, the CEO of Yash Raj Films, was traveling with me in my car and I was expressing to him my dilemma of not getting the right composer for my film. He then mentioned to me that he had various tapes of unutilized tunes left behind by his father, the late composer, Madan Mohan. Sanjeev had worked with me for many years but he had never mentioned this to me before. He worked for a month or two and played us 30 tunes. We immediately reacted to 8 of these tunes and Adi and I knew we were on the right track. <br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>
