It has been a long journey from the drawing board to the screens for Ranbir Kapoor’s Shamshera, but all is well that ends well. The film, also starring Sanjay Dutt and Vaani Kapoor, has finally sealed its date with the audience — July 22. Considering it is one of the biggest productions to come out of the Yash Raj Films’ stable, producer Aditya Chopra and director Karan Malhotra have paid attention to every minute detail of the period drama. Cracking its background score was an uphill task. With the film set in India under the British Raj in the 19th century, the music not only had to be authentic to the milieu, but also had to do justice to the larger-than-life world that Malhotra had envisioned.
