Also the successful film song
this has been Ve Maahi from
Kesari an original composed
by me and sung by Arijit
Singh and Asees Kaur. These
2 are very close to my heart
as well. And I’m glad they’ve
been accepted well by all.
Speaking of originals, Yeh Sindoor
from Mission Mangal was a heartfelt
rendition. How do you switch, from a
spirit of zing and tap to that so serene
and create something so powerful?
That’s the Real Bagchi. haha.
Spirit of a Zing is what the
world demands and I deliver,
But my expression is Sindoor.
My expression is Ve Maahi
and Bol Na. And i’ll keep
on doing such originals,
because they are extremely
important to me. I like to
explore versatility, that’s what
gets me going I believe. Yeh
Sindoor is my ode to the Indian
women and is a very different
composition altogether. It will
always be close to my heart.
You made Suniel Shetty and Raveena
Tandon come together again and
groove on Sheher Ki Ladki. How does
that make you feel, considering it was
your composition of a legendary track
featuring them in the original too?
Oh, it feels great and nostalgia
just kicks in which I am sure
has happened with the audience
as well. Sunil sir and Raveena
Mam still look so fresh and
rocking on screen. I had a
great time making Sheher ki
Ladki alongside Badshah as
well. There was a lot of support
from Bhushan Sir, Shivam
and the entire T Series Team
which made the whole process
much easier and smooth.
Any scenes of ever coming on the
screen and not just behind the mic?
Like i said, my first single
where Khudse Zyada is where
I’m featuring in the video.
VYRL originals support the
fact that artists who create the
Song the Music, should be a
part of the music video, which
I feel is great, they convinced
me to be a part of the video as
well and I am so glad they did.
It is very rare now days for the
singer to feature in the video
as well as in a lot of instances

they might cast professional
models or actors in it. But It
was a whole new experience for
me but I can say that I am not
different from the character I
am playing in the video. I have
tried and kept everything very
natural and the guy you see in
the video is the same Tanishk
Bagchi. Also thankfully have
received all positive responses
for then video along with the
song as well. Lined up are a
few more singles where i’ll be
in the video as well. So yes,
screen plans this year for sure.
You are from one of the most creative
cities of the country, Kolkata. It is
said that in every Bengali household,
creative arts flow by default. Is it a
stereotype that you’d want to bust
or a quality you’d like to embrace?
Music has always been around
me and in me. Music was been
a part of my upbringing and
runs in the family. My Dad
and Mom come from a musical
background. My dad has been
making music with RD Sir when
I was a kid, so my growing up
had a lot of Music. It was like a
routine for us so probably that
is why I didn’t realize what kind
of gems I had in my parents.
I would like to say that I have
happily embraced this quality
and feel blessed to be born in a
family filled with music lovers.
Which is one recreated version
of yours which you thought would
break the charts but didn’t?
I think Khadke Glassy recently.
I had more expectations from
it but It did decently well.
The song, according to me
was arranged for the right
flavour of the season, also it
had Honey Singh’s rap in it
and we all are aware what
a talented musician Honey
is. We did get good support
from everyone for this one.
Have you ever worked under pressure
and given a composition which you
thought could have been much better
than what it originally turned out to be?
No, because, under pressure
nothing really comes out great.
We have timeline pressures,
which can be really taxing
sometimes as deliveries need
