Mumbai: Musicians Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy have a new ace up their sleeves. They're going back to school, High School actually, as they compose music for a Disney film.

When Disney meets bhangra, what you get is truly fun. Disney television film High School Musical 2 is ready to woo its Indian audience with some very desi beats, courtesy music composers Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy. They have composed three additional songs to add to the musical -- a first of its kind.

The film took them back to their high school days. Shankar Mahadevan reminisced, “I was a very good student and I used to always come first. I used to study seven hours a day. I used to attend every single lecture. I used to be the favourite of all the teachers… and whatever I am saying right now is a complete lie.”

His partner Ehsaan told us, “My high school memories consist of getting into trouble every week, detention twice or thrice a week at least, my mother getting letters from school saying I have flunked in this subject, I have flunked in that subject...”

Shankar quipped, “He didn’t even know that he flunked because he was not in school.”

Maybe we could also expect to see a lot more of the musical trio who are currently a hot favourite with Bollywood.

“After seeing Dil Chahta Hai, we are little inspired. We thought we'll make a movie with three of us as the heroes.” Shankar said. Ehsaan had a few ideas up his sleeve as well. “We're thinking of actually making a film, a horror film with the three of us, the c grade films you know,” he said.

Shankar added, “We'll play the ghosts. So there also we'll put one song, bhangra song where the ghosts will be dancing.”
