It's really a thing of pride for our country since after the Oscars now we have a place in the Emmys as well,' said the composer.

The music director also feels that the nomination will open the doors for more international projects.

'This nomination, and if we win, will definitely blow international doors open for us. It is a big thing, people notice you, recognise your work. These things open room for various collaborations which eventually help you a lot,' explained Sulaiman.

The brothers have composed hit albums for films like 'Fashion', 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' and 'Chak De! India' and their forthcoming projects are 'Teen Patti', 'Pyaar Impossible', 'Kurbaan' and 'Kites'.

Asked what they will wear at the Emmys, he said: 'We will be sporting sherwanis created by designers Nikhil and Shantanu. Salim will be wearing an ink blue sherwani and I have opted for a black one.'
