The first film happened by luck and this is how my journey started. Luckily my music was virtuous I found musician and lyricists who agreed to collaborate with me without any remuneration.
I lost my dad when I was studying and so arranging demos, getting lyricist for free was difficult. Struggle was to do the whole song without any financial support. It was important to retain that confidence I had in myself. My struggle was inner belief as I had not studied music. I never sat in any director’s office to wait for my turn. My struggle was more internal than external. What were the hardships & hurdles you encountered and how did you overcome them? Mantra is to do what you want to without be bothered as to what others are doing. I don’t even listen to Bollywood music on regular basis. Only when I quit my job as a sound engineer, I started creating music for movies. I got bored with all music that was happening around. Rather than a composer, I wanted to become a sound engineer.
I studied Audio engineering in Chennai and worked in music studios.
But software got aside and music programming creeped in. I got a computer at home to practice software and came across software programming. I finished my B.com and I decided to get into MBA but realized it’s beyond my aptitude (laughs). I never wanted to get into films though I was passionate about movies but not career oriented in film making. My father was also a director of regional movies mainly Gujarati films. He made momentous movies like Baiju Bawra, Himalay Ki God Mein and many more. Vijay Bhatt, is one of the pioneer of Indian film industry. I come from a family of famous talented filmmakers.

He later bagged two more movies and gave remarkable music for the historical film ‘Gautamiputra Satakarni’, directed by Krish and starring Telugu superstar Nandmuri Balakrishna and even ‘Jai Simha’ featuring the actor in ‘’Ammakutti Ammakutti" song that has been chartbuster.
After Bollywood success he has created music & background score for Telugu movie ‘Kanche’ that has bought him applauds and awards. His struggle not being less than others, who want to create a mark for themselves in music, made his debut with Bollywood film Mission Istanbul in 2008 followed with array of movies with compilation of hit songs like Coffee Peetey Peetey, Bawra Mann, Teri Meri Kahaani from Gabbar Is Back & Jolly LLB 2 respectively featuring Akshay Kumar. He is not only a musician but also a Composer & singer belonging to the Bhatt family that comprised of noted filmmakers of Bollywood and Regional films. Chirantan Bhatt is one such composer who has not only created waves in Bollywood and Tollywood film industry with his interesting, foot tapping and melodious songs but also received awards for his creative work. Nowadays where different forms of music overlap each other, one can find a fusion of different styles that are seasoned by our musicians.
