And recent National Award winning composer for his work in Refugee.

His years of hard work and grit have made him one of the most prolific composers of our time.

What if he were given the chance to let his creativity soar and compose a tune for some of today's artistes.

Who would he choose and what kind of tunes would he compose?

Here's what we found.

I think rhythm and blues - that would suit her well.

She is a person with soul. And, therefore, the song would have to be one that matches that quality in her.

Karisma has fantastic body language. A bit of hip-hop, something to dance easily to would be perfect for her.

I think Amitabh Bachchan is the first and last of the greats.

For him, it would have to be something mildly melodious with great lyrics. Only that would do justice to man of his intellect.

He would need perhaps a thematic fusion of a raga that is yet to be discovered.

Nothing less would be appropriate for a man of his stature

There is such an elusive element about Rekhaji, which is timeless.

The melody I would compose for her would have to be clean and pure. One that would evoke love and passion, and inspire.

She is just like a picture from the great Mughal era. And that would be the essence of what I would compose for her.

She has portrayed so many different roles. .And the only thing common between them all are her expressive eyes.

A melody for her would be something that with a lot of instrumental interlude and simple words. Emotion would come from her eyes.
