'We wanted to be involved with something different, yet be creatively involved. Since acting is also a creative medium, we decided to explore that aspect of our personality. We have done music videos before...also every show is a performance on stage in itself.'

But Amaan stresses that they don't hold any grudge against Dutta, who has made acclaimed films like 'Border' and 'Refugee'.

'We felt really lucky that we were approached by a director like Dutta. The film and the role he offered didn't require us to run around trees or remove our shirts. It required acting. So both of us thought it's a good opportunity for us to try out something different. But music will always be our first love and cinema our hobby,' he said.

The brothers are now working on a Sufi album. Amaan revealed that they would also like to compose music for films though nothing has materialised on that front right now.

'Once Kabir Khan had approached Ayaan for a project, but nothing materialised. I too got a few offers, but none of them matured. Maybe whatever happens happens for the good. We would love to give music for a film, whenever we get a good opportunity.

'We have many friends in the industry, but I don't want to mix my friendship and my profession. I don't want to use my friendship to endorse myself; so we will wait till we get something worthwhile,' said Amaan, who had composed music in 2005 for academy award winner Rodger Christian's film 'American Daylight'.
