Like all of us, he has to be inspired to create, but he cannot pinpoint how he actually does so. An artiste goes through lots of pain and his journey is about freedom of expression, moods, creative highs and lows and a certain temperament. I could therefore relate to his life, struggle and success completely. In fact, I even understood a lot of my own queries as a creative artiste that had been mysteries to me before, like how composing the simplest song becomes very difficult on occasions, while at other times, a song seems to just come out on its own!� #ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face="Arial Narrow" size=4#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face="Arial Narrow" size=4#ed_cl#Did this artistic resonance make composing for this film easier? Says Sandesh thoughtfully, �Not really, but I was definitely more excited than ever before, so the result is definitely one of my best. I knew that Raja Ravi Varma was a protagonist who thought exactly like me, and this had never happened with a character in my film before. But I must say that without Ketan (Mehta)ji�s script, I would not have been able to do what I have done.� #ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face="Arial Narrow" size=4#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl# #ed_op#P#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face="Arial Narrow" size=4#ed_cl#How did they choose the lyricist for this film? Says Sandesh. �We really thought a lot about that. Then I happened to meet Manoj Muntishar, who had written scripts for Kaun Banega Crorepati and Voice Of India and was also known for his poetry, ghazals and one-liners. Since Ketan could not reveal the story at that stage, he just gave him a situation. Within 24 hours, Manoj came up with a song that Ketan fell in love with and so did I.

The music had to represent the various phases and the journeys,� he says.#ed_op#BR#ed_cl#We move to an uncomfortable realm: after his terrific innings at both film soundtracks and albums, why has Sandesh not reached the A-list bracket? #ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face="Arial Narrow" size=4#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl# #ed_op#P#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face="Arial Narrow" size=4#ed_cl#�I do not look at it that way,� Sandesh answers confidently. �I have not had a solo box-office hit in seven years and despite over a dozen flops I am not out of the industry - which shows that people trust me!

It�s a myth that singers do not want them because they are too busy - in fact, they prefer them.� Why has Sandesh himself never sung after Socha Na Tha?
