September 2, 2015

Mumbai, Sep 2: Sonam Kapoor and Hrithik Roshan have just released a video where they have recreated the popular track Dheere Dheere from the Mahesh Bhatt's block-buster Aashiqui (1990). But Sonam has said she was initially scared to work with Hrithik! The actor's huge stardom apparently scared her but after working with him, she realised that it's amazing to work with the Krish star.

sonamPunjabi rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh has written, cmposed the music and lent his voice for the new version of Dheere Dheere.

"It's amazing working with him (Hrithik). It's a preconceived notion that you get really scared to work with someone who is like this huge mega star. And I think the only other mega star I have worked with is Salman Khan. The amazing thing about him (Hrithik) is that he is very relaxed and causal and what I like about him is that he treats people around him nicely," the Khoobsurat actor said.

Sonam liked Hrithik's humility and approach towards people: "There are lot of people who are not kind to others because they think they are bigger than everybody else but he is very normal and humble. There is a lot of humility and he is also open to everything and everybody. It's a very unusual quality in a person who has seen so much success in life...that's pretty incredible and that really makes a person grow."

Sonam found Hrithik charming and was quite okay romancing him on screen. "He is a hot guy, so it's nice when a good looking, charming, funny, nice guy is romancing you even if it is on screen. It feels good and it was fun," the actress said. Sonam had great time working with Hrithik and she is open to work with the actor again. "I would love to work with him in future. I really liked the song and I wanted to do it. My family had a really long association with T-Series and so it was amazing. I think it's a very cool song," she added.

Sonam Kapoor will next be seen opposite Salman Khan in Sooraj Barjatya's Prem Ratan Dhaan Payo feels that the presence of the Dabangg actor will ensure a good opening at box office. "The film stars Salman Khan and I am sure it's going to open (with) ridiculous figures. But you hope it does well for the producers. And I am doing another film with Fox so it better do well. I work really hard (for the films I do)," she said, adding, "I don't even remember what numbers my films do because I really don't think about it too much. I think one film Ranjahnna and then Bhaag Milkha Bhaag has done Rs 100 crores."

As per reports, Sonam will also be part of Homi Adajania's Hindi remake of Hollywood hit The Fault in Our Stars . Deepika Padukone's name was also rumoured to be considered for the same role. Reacting to the reports, Sonam said, "I guess you are talking about some other actor, why do people get confused. For now I am doing just two films. They are Prem Ratan Dhaan Payo and a film with Neeraja (Bhanot), both are with Fox...So I am set for the next one year at least, after that God knows," she said.

Neerja Bhanot is an upcoming biographical film directed by Ram Madhvani, wherein Sonam will be playing the role of the late senior flight attendant who saved 360 lives on Pan Am flight when it was hijacked in Karachi in 1986. Neerja at 23 became the youngest and first woman recipient of the prestigious Ashok Chakra award.

Mumbai, Jun 1: Singer-composer Wajid Khan of music director duo Sajid-Wajid, popular for their work on superstar Salman Khan's films such as "Wanted", "Dabangg" and "Ek Tha Tiger", died in early hours of Monday in a city hospital due to complications arising from a kidney infection. He was 42.

Music composer Salim Merchant, who confirmed the news of Wajid's death, said the composer was hospitalised few days ago at Surana Hospital, Chembur where his condition deteriorated.

"He had multiple issues. He had a kidney issue and had a transplant a while ago. But recently he got to know about kidney infection... He was on the ventilator for the last four days, after his situation started getting worse. Kidney infection was the beginning and then he got critical," Salim told PTI.

The music composer duo made their Bollywood debut with Salman's 1998 movie "Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya" and went on to work on actor's various films including "Garv", "Tere Naam", "Tumko Na Bhool Payenge", "Partner" and the popular "Dabangg" franchise.

Wajid also did playback for Salman in chartbusters like "Mera He Jalwa", "Fevicol Se" and for Akshay Kumar in "Chinta Ta Chita Chita" from the film "Rowdy Rathore", among others. He recently co-composed Salman's songs "Pyaar Karona" and "Bhai Bhai", which the actor released on his YouTube channel.

Wajid along with his brother Sajid served as mentor on singing reality shows "Sa Re Ga Ma Pa 2012" and "Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Singing Superstar".

The composer duo also scored IPL 4 theme song, "Dhoom Dhoom Dhoom Dhadaka", which was sung by Wajid.

Soon after the news of the composer's demise broke, many from the film fraternity took to Twitter to pay tributes.

Actor Priyanka Chopra said she will always remember Wajid's smile.

"The one thing I will always remember is Wajid bhai's laugh. Always smiling. Gone too soon. My condolences to his family and everyone grieving. Rest in peace my friend. You are in my thoughts and prayers," she posted on Twitter.

Actor Parineeti Chopra said Wajid was one of the "nicest" men in the industry.

"Always singing. All heart. Always positive. You will truly be missed Wajid bhai," she tweeted.

Actor Varun Dhawan shared a picture of his filmmaker-father David Dhawan with Wajid and remembered the musician as one of the most positive people in Bollywood.

"Shocked hearing this news @wajidkhan7 bhai was extremely close to me and my family. He was one of the most positive people to be around. We will miss you Wajid bhai thank you for the music," he wrote.

Music composer-singer Vishal Dadlani said he was "heartbroken" after hearing the news.

"Both @SajidMusicKhan and @wajidkhan7 have been close & true friends. The kind who might see the light on and show up at our studio in the middle of the night just to meet and talk and share a laugh. Can't believe Wajid and I will never speak again," he wrote.

Singer-composer Shankar Mahadevan said he was still unable to come to terms with the news of Wajid's demise.

"Shocking ! Good bye dear brother.. love you .. till we meet on the other side ! Prayers for your peaceful journey Wajid bhai," he tweeted.

Singer Javed Ali posted, "Feeling Deeply Saddened after hearing shocking news of the sudden demise of Wajid Khan. May his Soul Rest in Peace. My heartfelt condolences to his family. May Allah give strength to the family."
