Ghanekar, 34, was making his own brand of experimental jazz-rock music and working on a couple of tunes for Goldie Behl’s production house Rose Movies, when the latter asked him to jump on to the Drona wagon. “I didn’t take him seriously, everyone in Mumbai is always making a movie,” chuckles Ghanekar.

But Behl called him a few months later and Ghanekar found himself with music sheet and the storyline of what was described as a Harry Potter-meets-Indiana Jones movie. Like a true-blue fantasy adventure film, Drona, starring Abhishek Bachchan, is about a man journeying back in time, facing his fears and becoming the hero he is destined to be.

“In an industry where music is given utmost importance, it was a huge challenge. But I had studied orchestra music and scoring it has been a wonderful experience,” says Ghanekar, who has composed the songs as well as the background score of the film. The title track is creating a buzz on airwaves but few know that he has used the six-member Austrian band Bauchklang’s unique talents on the track. “They performed at Blue Frog earlier and they mimic the sounds of instruments with their voice. I was completely blown away and knew that I had to collaborate with them,” says Ghanekar, who then worked on incorporating a section with them into the song .
