96523 Gustavo Santaolalla Set To Compose Music For Bollywood

From Australian singer Kylie Minogue to Mexican actress Babara Mori it seems like artists outside of India who are in Bollywood films are becoming more and more common.   So who’s the next foreigner to join a b-town flick?  It’s Argentine musician Gustavo Santaolalla .   The singer is set to work on the music for Aamir Khan’s wife  Kiran’s debut film Dhobi Ghat.

Gustavo who is a Grammy, Golden Globe and Oscar award winner began the night thanking Aamir for inviting him to Mumbai to work  on Kiran’s debut film.   He then treated the guests to his performance and sang songs such as Chura Liya with composer/singer Shankar Mahadevan amongst other tracks around 2:30am which is when the party was just starting to warm up.  

Around 4am actor Aamir Khan decided to show off his skills besides acting and he sang , Orre Taal Mile ,Nadi Ke Jal Se, Nadi Mile Saagar Se, for Gustavo and translated all the lyrics in English for him.   Shortly after Kiran called the entire guest for dinner and Gustavo showed his appreciation for Desi food as he requested roti’s to go along with his subzis.   It seemed like the entire guest enjoyed the night as well as Gustavo’s presence.   It’s become quite common now for Bollywood glitterati to host parities from artist who visit from around the world, and the film fraternity is definitely enjoying it!
