It was after these films, that the industry took note of this unqualified musician. His latest films are Sanjay Gupta's 'Kaante', Feroz Khan's 'Janasheen' and the forthcoming 'Sarhad Paar'. At a time when the industry is flooded with techno beats and remixes, Anand has adapted to the market's requirements and yet retained the unique quality of his music.
