Mumbai: "It was just a long vacation." This is how composer Sandeep Chowta describes the long gap in working with filmmaker Ram Gopal Verma (RGV), for whom he has scored the background music in Not A Love Story after Company in 2002.
"Our last film was Company. I have always been a great admirer of his films. We just took a vacation and it became a long vacation that's all," Chowta told, who also gave the music of Sayta, Shool and Jungle.
He said he was chasing his dreams internationally and recently scored the music for Hollywood film Break Away.
"I have been doing a lot of things internationally. I was chasing my dreams outside India. I just did a Hollywood film Break Away and it's going to release in September. We have big Hollywood stars. We only have Anupam Kher from here. It's a film on Ice Hockey. I was busy doing that for the last six months," said Chowta who had also given the background music of Housefull.
On being asked how this rebinding happened after so many years, he said: "Ramu and I were in touch. He just wanted to show me the promos of the film. I liked it. I think it's destiny."
Chowta maintained that now he has a lot to offer to Bollywood. "I have learnt a lot in the last nine years and I am here to unload (knowledge). I have something new to offer now," said Chowta.
Filmmaker Ram Gopal Verma's next Not A Love Story is inspired by the true story of the heinous murder of TV executive Neeraj Grover, but the director claims that it's not a biopic of Kannada actress Maria Susairaj, who has been convicted in the case.
"The film is not a biopic. It has been inspired by the incident but not based on that particular incident. The characters are imaginative and I wanted to show the state-of-mind or the emotion that might have driven them to do such a crime," Verma told reporters at the release of first look of the film.
Grover was stabbed to death by former Navy officer and Susairaj's boyfriend Emile Jerome in her flat. The actress was convicted on Thursday for destroying evidence.
The tagline of the film - "In the summer of 2008, two lovers killed a man, had sex in front of the body, cut it into pieces, packed it in a shopping bag and disposed it" - is a relevant pointer to the original case.
The gory trailer of the film shows how Mahie Gill and her fiance Deepak Dhobrial murder Ajay Gehi and burn his body pieces in a jungle.
"This is a story of two very ordinary people. The girl in the film is a very simple girl, the ones I meet regularly in course of my career. One fine morning, how these simple people can go completely bizarre and do such a terrible thing, which a normal person cannot imagine," said Varma.
