The year was 1998. A low - budget film about the dark underbelly of Mumbai called 'Satya' had captured the country's imagination. The Indian audiences arose to a stunningly new, in-your-face background score. It was perhaps the first time in Indian cinema that the background score made the original soundtrack take a snug backseat. Whispers of a certain name began doing the rounds of the hallowed portals of Bollywood. The name was Sandeep Chowta, a man who came, saw and swiftly conquered the music battlefield. What followed since is nothing short of a fairy tale. Successful and strikingly different soundtracks for various Bollywood & Tollywood blockbusters like "Mast", "Company", "Vaastav", "Asoka", "Om Shanti Om", "Housefull", "Parmanu", "Son of Sardar", "Ninne Pelladutha" and many more.
