Filmmaker Anubhav Sinha, whose projects include ‘Mulk’, ‘Anek’, and ‘IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack’, among others, has launched music label Benaras Beat.

Sinha, according to a PTI report yesterday from New Delhi,  said in a statement he had wanted to start the music label for years: “So, there is a saying that if you want to do something and you don’t do anything about it, then it’s a dream, and if you want to do something and you do a lot about it, then it’s an ambition.”

“Benaras Beat was formed in my head and in the office about 7-8 years back. I love music, so much so that 3 years back I started learning music.

“It is my ambition for music since childhood, there is music playing in my room all the time,” he added.

Sinha said he wanted to come out with music outside the films years back but didn’t have the team for it.

“The idea germinated about 7-8 years back when I thought I’ll make music outside of films as well, but I could not set up a team.

“This happened about a year back when I started working with a couple of composers, the whole team was set up, and now we have created some songs,” he said.
