He believed that learning classical music everyday instills a certain discipline and focus in an individual, which is necessary right from childhood.

From Bismillah Khan, Kishan Maharaj and Vilayat Khan to Pandit Shivkumar Sharma, Ustad Zakir Hussain and Amjad Ali Khan, the tradition has attracted many a music maestro to Bhaini Sahib to impart their knowledge to the children. The documentary is a musical journey that discovers the hidden gems of Sri Bhaini Sahib, and the mesmerizing story of Satguru Jagjit Singh that has remained untold. Sangeet – Saroop – Satgur premiered in Mumbai on 26th July 2019.
