Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, the producer of his wife Kiran Rao’s upcoming directorial debut Dhobi Ghaat, is reportedly courting Oscar-winning Argentine musician Gustavo Santaolalla to compose songs for the movie.


Santaolalla won Academy Awards for best original score for Brokeback Mountain (2005) and Babel (2006). In June, Khan hosted a star-studded party in Mumbai with Santaolalla as the guest of honor.


Khan has also reportedly convinced the family of the late acclaimed filmmaker Bimal Roy to lend him a song from Roy's 1958 classic Madhumati, which starred Bollywood great Dilip Kumar. According to news reports, Khan has acquired the rights to use the hit song, "Dil Tadap Tadap Ke Kaha Raha Hai Aa Bhi Jaa," in Dhobi Ghaat.
