Deepak Pandit

When violinist Deepak Pandit decided to render legendary ghazals using symphony orchestra, his biggest dilemma was on how to reinvent the song without the track losing its soul. "Famous ghazals like Mehdi Hassan's Ranjish Hi Sahi and Pankaj Udhas's Aur Aahista are songs which people have heard innumerable times, and love it the way it is. So, for us the challenge was to present the song in an-all new avatar in a manner that people appreciate it," says Pandit, who has worked as a violinist for The Namesake (2006), I Am Kalam (2010) and Yeh Faasley (2011).
