Pritam fondly recalls cherished moments with mentors Rajkumar Hirani and the late Sanjay Gadhvi
Pritam, the accomplished composer with a track record of over two decades working on numerous projects with director Rajkumar Hirani, is joining forces with him for the first time on a film. This particular project happens to be the much-anticipated Shah Rukh Khan starrer Dunki. He recently took to his Instagram to reflect on their two-decade journey. In a heartfelt post, he also reminisced about his camaraderie with the late Dhoom director, Sanjay Gadhvi, on what would have been Gadhvi’s birthday.
He wrote, “My journey with Raju Hirani and Sanjay Gadhvi started almost 20 years ago. Both have been guides and mentors. It was Raju, with whom I had done many ads and jingles, who introduced me to Sanjay. And then it was Sanjay who gave me my first few films and stood by my side like a rock. We lost Sanjay just three days ago. Today is Sanjay’s birthday. But today is also the launch of the first song from Raju’s Dunki. In over 20 years, #Dunki is Raju and my first film together.”
