How a Bengal Tiger led them to an Emmy

Music directors Salim and Sulaiman Merchant have been nominated for an Emmy for their work on American show, Wonder Pets. iTALK catches them for teen sawaal


How did the association with the show, Wonder Pets, come about?
There is a company called the Little Airplane Productions, that got in touch with us. The first thing we asked them was how on earth did they hear about us. But they assured us that we were very famous (Chuckles).


They had seen Chak De, and a musical we have done called, Merchants of Bollywood, which was staged in Europe. The music for Wonder Pets had to be done in a similar opera format. So, that was that.


What does this nomination mean to you?
We are proud, of course. Sometimes you make great music, but don't find appreciation. And then sometimes, appreciation comes when you least expect it. That really satisfies the soul.
