'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.

Mumbai, Jan 9: Actor Juhi Chawla on Wednesday said instead of constantly criticising the government, one should reflect on own conduct and talk about uniting rather than dividing.

The actor attended an event which aimed to counter "Free Kashmir (narrative), anti-India slogans, false propaganda and clear the misconception."

Juhi said as artistes, it's unfair to be questioned about incidents "just for a reaction" when they should be given time to truly understand the situation.

"We are going to work, thinking how to execute our task, then some incident happens somewhere and suddenly the media asks, 'what do you think about this?' We haven't understood the matter, people haven't understood the matter but you need a reaction.

"Let people understand, whether it's NRC or CAA, and what's is it about, why is this being talked about," Juhi told reporters.

The actor said it is sad that people talk about division more than unity.

"Everyone is quick to talk about dividing. Why don't we talk about uniting? Why does everyone say 'what is the government doing, why is it doing this?' but I say if you point one finger there then three fingers are at you.
