'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo' songs have Salman Khan's stamp: Himesh Reshammiya

June 5, 2015

Mumbai, Jun 5: Bollywood musician Himesh Reshamiya says the nine songs that he has composed for Salman Khan starrer family drama "Prem Ratan Dhan Payo" are romantic and at the same time bear superstar's signature flair.

"'Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo' is the most-awaited film of the year and I have tried to live up to the expectations of Sooraj ji's script and Salman bhai's persona, which is historic," Himesh said in an interview.

The musician said he has composed nine "purely romantic melodies which are very soulful and yet have Salman Khan's stamp on them."

Himesh-Salman"Prem Ratan Dhan Payio", also starring Sonam Kapoor, not only reunites Salman with director Sooraj Barjatya after 16 years but also re-teams the superstar with Himesh after 2011's "Bodyguard".

Himesh has earlier composed music for Salman's films, including "Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya?", "Dil Ne Jise Apna Kahaa" and "Hello Brother".

When asked about the recent trend of filmmakers making actors sing in their movies, the composer said he has no issues with it. "If actors are singing well and churning out hits then I think it is a beautiful trend. There is no harm if it's converting into success, like in the case of Salman bhai," Himesh said.

The 41-year-old singer will also be seen as one of the coaches on singing reality show "The Voice India".

"I chose to be a part of 'The Voice India' because of its overall concept of blind auditions... And battles which is very unusual and also because this show has worked universally with the audience (sic). So far, I am loving every moment which I have shot for the show," he said.

According to Himesh, reality singing shows provide a great platform for new talent to kickstart their career, besides offering entertainment.

In the show, Himesh is looking for the talents who are fresh, unconventional and unique and he does not want voice which is similar to anybody in market.

"I am looking for voice that will have its own individual quality and style," he added. Himesh said he will share his experience with contestants and guide them on their performance.

"Bookish knowledge does not work in the practical field of shows, performers and film industry. I will train them (contestants) in becoming super-performers, who are great singers with superb pick-up sense, besides having a quality of spontaneous audience interaction in them (sic)," he said. The "Voice India" goes on air on TV from June 6.

New Delhi, Jun 24: Actor Bhumi Pednekar supported migrant labourers traveling long distances amid the coronavirus pandemic, in a rather unique way- by donating footwear to them.

The gut-wrenching images of migrants walking barefoot on the roads made the 'Pati Patni Aur Woh' actor take the plunge to help them.

Pednekar joined hands with a footwear company and a volunteer-based non-government organisation - The Robin Hood Army - to help the underprivileged with footwear.

The actor helped over 1000 migrant labourers in and around Ghaziabad in Murad Nagar, Govindpuram, Vijay Nagar, and distributed footwear among men and women across age-groups.

Bengaluru, Jun 9: There’s no denying the fact that Sudeep is one of the most popular and sought-after names in Kannada cinema. The versatile actor has won the love of fans due to his ‘pan-India’ look and impressive selection of roles. A self-made star, he paid his dues before making it big in Sandalwood. The Bachchan actor had, some time ago, told Film Companion that his initial years in the industry were anything but easy.

 The mass hero revealed that his first two movies never saw the light of the day as they were abandoned midway. Following the setback, he finally made his Kannada debut with V Umakanth’s Thayavva and began a new chapter in life. Sadly, the film sank without a trace and was removed from theatres within three days of its release.

“My first two films did not see the light of the day while the third one did not see people,” he added.

Sudeep ultimately tasted success with the 2001 release Huchcha and the rest is history. Over the years, ‘Deepanna’ has starred in several commercially successful movies and proved that he is a certified ‘A-lister’. The star has also made an impact in non-Kannada movies like Rann and Eega, expanding his fanbase big time.

Coming to the present, Sudeep was last seen in the Bollywood biggie Dabangg 3 that did decent business at the box office. The actioner saw him share screen space with Salman Khan, giving fans a reason to rejoice. The cast included Arbaaz Khan and Sonakshi Sinha.

He will be turning his attention to the Kannada biggie Kotigobba 3, the third instalment of the Kotigobba series. The film, directed by Shiva Karthik, is one of the biggest movies of the year. It features Shraddha Das, Madonna Sabastian and Aftab Shivdasani in key roles.  He  will also be seen in the Anup Bhandari-directed Phantom.
