Sanjay Gupta and Anu Malik have teamed up again after over a decade

The filmmaker has roped in the music composer for his forthcoming film starring John Abraham, Anil Kapoor and Kangna Ranaut.

Anu was surprised to receive a call from Sanjay yesterday requesting him to score the music.

Says Gupta, `I told Anu that he needs to be out of his self-imposed exile and hibernation. I need some rocking tunes for my film.` Anu had scored the music for Sanjay`s earlier films like Khauff (2000) and Hameshaa (1997).

Says Anu, `Sanjay showed me parts of the film and I have already begun work on it. It`s a challenge to score music for the gangster genre of the film. It`s something that excited me. Moreover I share a fantastic rapport with the film`s co-producer Ekta Kapoor as well.`

Apart from being a judge on an ongoing music reality show, Anu is also scoring the music for Anil Sharma`s Sunny Deol starrer as well as a film that stars newbies Nazia Hussain and Aditya Samanta
