Hi Akash,
There are number of courses that you can pursue to become a music director, but the most important is to have the knowledge of music. So you should try and learn music first. For that you can do a graduation then a post graduation and a PhD. if you wish.
If you are not willing to do any of these then you can also learn music from some colleges that offer these courses. You can learn music from famous personalities that teach music as it will give you an added advantage. Also remember that you should have the knowledge of as many musical instruments as possible.
Remember that being creative is the most important trait that is required to become a music director. Also Hard work and patience is required.
There is no age to become a music director, so if you have the knowledge and expertise to do so you can compose your own music and take it to the music companies and show your work to them. If they like they will give you a chance.
Once you obtain the right knowledge you can also start working in some music companies that will help you build your contacts that will be of help to you when you want to work independently. Remember that many music directors were assistants in the staring of their careers.
If you have loads of money to invest you can launch your own music album also.
Practice is the key to Success!
Best Wishes!

Hey Akash,
It is good to hear from you again! You are most welcome.
As you have a good knowledge of music but you do not have any degree in the same. So it will also be suggested to have a degree in the same. As you are interested in music composition, it would be suggested that you learn it from somewhere and have a professional degree of the same. You can also opt for a degree in film scoring as you would be composing mostly film music later in life.
You can do any of them, though degree in film music would be suggested.
Hope this is of help to you.
Best wishes and hoping you achieve you achieve your goal soon!
