Music composers and brothers, last seen on the Forbes India Celebrity 100 list in 2015 at 82, make a comeback in the Forbes India Celeb 100 list at No 22. The comeback was due to a bunch of live shows and singing playback in films including Thugs of Hindostan, Zero and Super 30. The duo also composed the theme song for Sony TV's Kaun Banega Crorepati, season 11.
