Chitrangada Singh, who was last seen in a leading role in mentor-director Sudhir Mishra's 'Inkaar', and then sizzled the screen in a special appearance song in 'Gabbar Is Back', 'Aao raja...', is now gearing up for a musical adventure titled, 'Band Of Maharajas'. The film, produced by Raju Chadha and Puneet Singh, follows a feisty music activist and pop-star, played by the 39-year-old actress, accompanied by three young boys who are aspiring folk musicians from Punjab.

The film is helmed by Girish Malik, whose directorial debut, 'Jal', bagged the National Award for Best Special Effects. It was also nominated at the 2014 Oscars for Best Original Score and featured four songs and 18 instrumental soundtracks. "But while Jal was a dark, serious film about water scarcity in India, 'Band Of Maharajas' is a musical adventure with a generous dose of comedy," reveals Rahul Mittra, the head of Raju Chadha's film studio.

Talking about Chitrangada, Rahul reveals that she plays a youth icon and a musical maverick who sets out on this unusual adventure which completely changes the lives of the boys accompanying her. "It's a wild journey from Punjab to Pakistan, a coming-of-age story for not just the characters, but also their music," adds Rahul.

The film will feature over a dozen songs, a combination of dance numbers and Sufi tracks. "We are looking at bringing a number of local singers on board, along with established composers. Presently, we are working on multiple soundtracks," says Rahul, adding, "The script is locked and we roll this November."
