He was Ismail Darbar's assistant on the keyboard. He is today his replacement. Monty, nephew of music director Pyarelal has replaced Ismail Darbar in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's film Sawariya. The background score in Devdas and Black that took truck loads of filmfare awards home last weekend was done by Monty.
The genius that he is, he has been awarded an opportunity to present his talent as a music director full throttle. Any way Sanjay is in the mood to experiment and do something new and different. It seems Monty and Sanjay are working on the music of the film to come out with something very new and sparkling for the ears.
Sawariya marks the debut of Ranbir Kapoor (son of Rishi Kapoor) and Sonam Kapoor (daughter of Anil Kapoor). The film also stars Rani Mukherjee and Salman Khan. The news abuzz in the industry is that the film may also have an A- category Hollywood star. Well as of now we can only keep guessing who it will be.
