After stamping their mark in the music industry with two successful albums, the composer trio of popular band 'Kailasa' are now expanding their domain into Bollywood and are in talks with the Mozart of Madras, A. R. Rahman, who may sing for them.

Band leader Kailash Kher, together with Mumbai-based Kamath brothers, Paresh and Naresh, are set to compose music for two Bollywood films.

"Yes, me and my colleagues of my band 'Kailasa', Paresh Kamath and Naresh Kamath, will be composing music for upcoming films 'Made In China' and 'Allah Ke Bande,'" said Kher during a telephonic conversation.

"Together we will be known as Kailash-Paresh-Naresh" he added. The trio who joined hands together in 2006 had brought a whiff of fresh music and regaled audiences with sufi elements in their first album 'Kailasa' followed by 'Kailasa Jhoomore' a few months ago.

'Made in China' directed by Nikhil Advani and produced by Ramesh Sippy stars Akshay Kumar and model-turned-actor Deepika Padukone. This multicomposer film will also have musicians Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy as well as veteran Bappi Lahiri. The title track will be done by Kailash-Paresh-Naresh.

Kailash, who rose to popularity with 'Allah ke Bande' in the film 'Aise bhi hota he', is excited about the possibility of getting A. R. Rahman to sing for his composition in the upcoming 'Allah Ke Bande,' by debut filmmaker Farooqe Kabir.

"I share a special bond with Rahman and I never miss a chance to work with him. He is blessed by God. His spirituality and simplicity attracts everyone," says Kailash.

The trio is working on a sufi song and have already discussed it with Rahman.
