Now when brass bands are no more that fashionable and in demand at weddings, the band was thrilled to be approached for Ali's film.

The director's working style has impressed Anil. 'It was a good experience working with him (Ali). He is not only a good director, but a good person to work with as well.'

'We will try to do more films and we are hoping that the film does well at the box office as it will bring more work for us. At the same time I am also planning to expand my business. Right now we work during wedding seasons only, but I aim to work round the year. I want to convert it into an event management company,' the entrepreneur said about his future plans.

'My wife has also joined me. And we plan to do everything from planning weddings, birthday parties to inauguration ceremonies. We want to work 24x7,' said Anil, an alumnus of Hindu College who willingly joined his father Heera Thadani's family business. His brother, however, works with Lloyds Bank in London.

'I started looking after the work while I was in college. It was my conscious decision to join the family business. My father helps me out. In fact he is more active than me,' he added.

Right now Jea Band has two branches in the capital and charges somewhere between Rs.5,000 and Rs.20,000 depending on the season.

'We don't have permanent employees. We have contractual labourers and some of them have worked with us for generations,' Anil said.
