Ranjit Barot drums up a storm during the shoot of Bang Bang

Having grown up to the beat of the late danseuse and his mother, Sitara Devi's musical anklets, Ranjit Barot absorbed rhythm at an early age. The 61-year-old music arranger, film background score composer, music director, singer and drummer has lately taken to rearranging popular film tunes for MTV Unplugged. His first assignment saw him collaborate with AR Rahman on the 1994 chart-topper Urvasi; then, he recreated the song Bang Bang (with Benny Dayal and Neeti Mohan) on a Jazz and Funk template.
