How industry people have described Anu Malik:
1. Farah Khan, when asked about her favourite music director, said that A R Rahman and Anu Malik's music have inspired her to do her best work in choreography.
2. Shahrukh Khan in an early interview was asked what music he liked and he said 'Anything by Anu Malik'
3. Javed Akhtar was so impressed by how quickly Anu composed the free verse poem 'Sandese aate hain' that he has maintained ever since that Anu Malik can set any words to music!
4. Sonu Nigam said on 'Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai' that Anu Malik was his favourite current Indian composer. On Prabhu Chawla's 'Seedhi Baat', Sonu said that the two Indian composers to have used his voice in the best way are A R Rahman and Anu Malik.
5. Alka Yagnik on SRGMP Marathi said that out of all the composers she has worked with extensively, she has had the most fights with Anu Malik. They have had a fight in every recording apparently. But she is thankful to him because he has explored and used the best parts of her voice in his songs and 99% of her collaborations with him have been superhit. She also said that Anu Malik's music is of very high quality but his restless temperament can diminish that quality at times.
6. Vir Sanghvi introduced Anu Malik in an interview by saying that Hariharan recommended Anu Malik as a great music director.
7. When asked why Anu Malik was chosen for the music of Abhishek Bachchan's first film (Refugee), Jaya Bachchan said 'Who else is there? He is the number one.'
8. Udit Narayan said Anu Malik was a spider-man because, like a spider, he climbs very high, but when he falls, he doesn't feel dejected and starts climbing again!
Isn't it weird how a man that had so much support at one time is now ridiculed so much? Anyway, my best wishes are with him!
