&ldquo;In my 36 years in the industry, I received many offers to compose music for films. But I accepted this one as it involved Majaz Lakhnawi, a respected and renowned poet. He didn&rsquo;t get his due in his lifetime or even after his death. He died at the age of 44 in 1955. Not many know that he was (lyricist) Javed Akhtar&rsquo;s maternal uncle,&rdquo; says Aziz.
The soundtrack of the movie comprises 11 songs, most of which are ghazals. &ldquo;Sonu Nigam has sung a Sufiana track called Allah O Ghani in the film. Alka Yagnik has also crooned one,&rdquo; reveals Aziz, adding that working on the movie&rsquo;s soundtrack was difficult. &ldquo;Majaz&rsquo;s poetry has a flow and musicality that is rare. It&rsquo;s not easy to compose his ghazals and nazms,&rdquo; he explains.
