to happen before shoot etc, But in my case
if I’m not totally satisfied, I buy that little
extra time to send my best effort ahead for
a song. I am extremely particular about
the treatment I give to my songs and do
not like to compromise on the quality.
Cause that’s what would would make the
song stand apart, as production is my
strength and I want play by it by producing
the song to the best of my capabilities.
Which is the best filmmaker and actor-actress to work
with? What are their qualities which you look up to? It
is very difficult to answer but to name a few,
Anand L Rai, Karan Sir, Mohit Suri are one
the best Film makers I have worked with.
The kid of support they give you makes the
whole process so easy and they make you feel
like you belong here. Coming to the actors,
SRK Sir, Varun Dhawan and Ranveer Singh
would be my favourites. They have this
certain energy in and around them which I
really like and they are a few of those actors
whom one looks forward to work with.
Any funny anecdote that you can remember
while creating any of your compositions?
Hahaha the list of funny anecdotes is
endless. In my studio, its a laugh riot. In
session breaks, we are always cracking
jokes and chilling over Chai breaks. That’s
what makes the song making process
incredibly amazing and fun filled as well.
Today’s generation wants to achieve everything
too fast too soon. They are not very receptive
to failures. What would you say to them?
Keep trying even if you fail, Rome wasn’t
built in a day. My suggestion to the young
generation would be to set a target and
reach it no matter what happens. It will
definitely take time but I can guarantee
it will be worth the wait. The more time
you take to achieve success the more you
would value it. Let success take it own
sweet time to come. Every failure is another
learning step, learn from it and move on.
Who’s your celebrity crush?
Penelope Cruz!
What do you like to do, when not
immersed in the world of music?
I love spending time with Family. I am a
tech freak so I like researching on new
Gadgets and gears in the market. Trying
my hands on new software’s, and new
sound tools are also my favourite past
time. Watching movies also sometimes.
Do you read? Which is your favourite
book and favourite author?
Not an Avid reader.
What is your mantra which gets you
going even in the worst of days?
Be Positive. Think Clear. Don’t over think.
If you could possess one superpower,
what would that be?
Oh I would love to have the superpowers
of Dr. Strange. How cool would it be to
manipulate forces of the universe.
Who is your favourite singer from the decades gone
by, starting as far early as you can remember?
Kishore Kumar has to be my favourite.
He has been an inspiration, not only
for me but for our whole Nation, Every
budding singer and even the Bollywood
industry. He’s an Icon who people
would look upto even in the future.
And favourite composer? AR Rahman
Sir. My love and respect for him is
quite evident in this interview. He’s a
class apart and I feel his creations are
immortal and would live on forever.
Any parting message that you’d want to give us, using
a line from your own composition? Tujhko “FAN”
Bana kar le jayenge, Badri Ki Dulhania!
