Sources say the music veteran who was behind the soulful songs in Ghai's film eight years ago had taken a hiatus from Bollywood. Instead he was busy judging music shows on TV.
A source says, `There were rumours that he was to make music for Guzaarish but later Sanjay Leela Bhansali decided to do it himself. Darbar was to also make his debut as a director but the project got stalled due to some financial reasons.`
Darbar is grateful that Ghai is giving him another chance to come back to Bollywood. He says, `Ghai contacted me and asked me to work for his film. I did Kisna for him but it didn't work. I have been without a film job for eight years now. I made some mistakes and my time was not good.`
