Recently it was reported that John Abraham would be doing a 'Ganpat' act for Sanjay Gupta in his dramatic thriller Shootout At Wadala. As it turns out, this isn't going to be the only attraction in the film inspired by real incidents that had shocked the nation in the 80s. It will also have a Pakistani connection to it, courtesy country's pop band Strings which would also be composing music for the film. The band members have also reached Indian shores and are jamming it all up in a music studio. "Yes, both Bilal Maqsood as well as Faisal Kapadia are in town to compose music for Shootout At Wadala. Though off late there has been a lull as far as Pakistani artists composing for an Indian film are concerned, the makers of Shootout At Wadala have taken an exception. They are pretty much living up to the adage of 'music has no boundaries'.
