It has been also a very emotional moment for the two legendary singer sisters because they shared the same stage after so many years and Lataji received the award for a non-film album for the first time at GIMA. Her devotional album on ‘Hanuman Chalisa’ earned her the Best devotional music award.
Subramanium family was another lucky musician family that was felicitated with the ‘Best fusion award’. The entire family was awarded for their performance on ‘Live At Neues Gewandhaus Leipzig Germany’ album.

Reportedly the duo has worked very hard for the two upcoming projects. ‘Tees Maar Khan’ is an out an out action oriented film which has a very suspense thriller flavor to it, so the music in it will also have that flavor in it. RA.ONE is basically a flick based on science fiction, so it has some very tech oriented bass music in it. So the coming months are going to be a great treat in terms of great songs and item numbers!
