Call it the price of recognition, but Pritam Chakraborty has no choice!

When this Bengali makes music, India sits up and takes notice. To the eternal optimist, Pritam Chakraborty has been bringing the music of the world to the consoles of Bollywood. But for the well-informed optimist, he is India’s most appreciated plagiarist.

Pritam has music in his blood and gene. Born to a father who ran a music school, he completed his education in Kolkata before migrating to Mumbai, the city of ambition, in pursuit of the great Bollywood dream.

The on going Airtel cell phone ad films have turned out to be a major boon in disguise of actor Madhavan. His pairing with Vidya Balan in Guru was appreciated for the superb chemistry they shared between them and it has now only got better with the Airtel ads featuring the two together.

The popularity of Madhavan in the Airtel commercials has resulted in a huge turnout of offers from respected makers and top production houses. Madhavan’s career had never really picked up even after a super hit like Rang De Basanti. But now he has makers like Rajkumar Hirani (3 Idiots), Vashu Bhagnani, UTV, Reliance Big Entertainment and the makers of Teen Patti having signed him for their forthcoming projects. Reliance has even signed Madhavan for their Tamil projects.
