Hi All, In today's Music Guide of Deccan Chronicle newspaper there was an interview with Monty (Saawariya fame)..
To the question... On your iPod... : Khwaja Mere Khwaja from Jodha Akbar.. read the complete interview below On Saawariya's music beingĀ success... I ws very happy that my music was appreciated and I felt as if my hard work eventually paid off. But it would have been great if the file would have done well too. Life post Saawariya.... Amazing! Mind blowing! More hectic,but more rocking too. Upcoming projects... IĀ have 16 films coming up, some of them are Chamkoo, Right ya Wrong, Run Bhola run, Khuda Hafeez... Working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali... Working with Sanjay has been an advantage as he gives me complete liberty and I feel my talent and potential is fully explored! The current music scenario in India... Everyone tends to be inspired but the same time original music is appreciated. I feel the scenario is very good and people love and appreciate original music. On your iPod... Khwaja Mere Khwaja from Jodha Akbar Favourite number... Ek Pyaar Ka Nagma from the film Shor. Favourite singer... All are my favourites. I am close to Kunal Ghanjawala and his wife Gayatri. Current favourite song... None really, I barely listen to music nowadays as I'm too busy creating it. Most hated music... I can never hate any form of music. I only feel that the use of certain instruments could make some songs better. Current favourite international new band/singer I recently worked with and liked the music of Pakistani singer Javed Bashir Irrespective of what ratings the reviewers on numerous sites have given to Jodha Akbar.. the music of JA goes down in history as one of the masterpieces in Indian music...
