Himesh Reshammiya for Kamal's Dasavatharam
Chennai

A R Rehman turned down Kamal Hassan's Desavatharam due to his earlier commitments in Bollywood. Now Kamal Hassan called Himesh Reshammiya for the bilingual film 'Dasavatharam', in which Kamal plays ten roles. The film produced by Ravichandran and directed by Ravikumar, is being readied in Tamil and Hindi. Himesh Reshammiya till the last count has delivered 31 hits. Reshamiya says that Kamal will be involved with most aspects of 'Dasavatharam'. Himesh has signed 'Ram Gopal Verma's Sholay', Sanjay Gupta's 'Alibaug', Ahmed Khan's 'Fool and Final', Anil Sharma's 'Apne' and Abbas Mastan's next.

Reshammiya's another ace!
By Subhash K Jha

After conquering every peak possible in the Hindi charts, Himesh Reshammiya has now set his sight and sound southwards.

He's signed up his first Tamil-Telugu feature film Dusavtar featuring the legendary Kamal Haasan in ten different roles.

"So I guess I'll have to work ten times harder," Himesh jokes. "But seriously Kamalji is such a legend. He's the only reason why I've chosen to go southwards at a time when I've so much on my plate in Bollywood. A film featuring Kamal Haasan can't be dubbed a regional film,"

The Tamil-Telugu film is produced by V Ravichandran who recently did the successful Aparachit.

"And they're making the film on a lavish scale, no expenses spared....I think I'm the only Bollywood composer to be going South," he says, forgetting that Vishal Bhardwaj did a South Indian film called Dayaa at his career's peak.

Himesh will have to take the help of a translator to get the nuances of the Tamil and Telugu right. In the meanwhile he's also very excited about the success of his latest soundtrack Ahista Ahista.

"Many years ago Khayyam Saab had done a beautiful score for the same producers entitled Ahista Ahista. I can't match up to that score. But I've done my own thing."

Incidentally Anu Malik was asked to take up the Khayyam challenge in Umrao Jaan even as Himesh had to live up
to the Ahista Ahista magic of Khayyam.

Anthony Kaun Hai music is interesting

Himesh gets protective about himself! By MIO Team Jul 05, 2006, 10:54

In the past six months Himesh Reshammiya had rendered 31 hits. The composer-singer is a god fearing man we knew who owes his success to God, his father and Salman Khan in that order. He is a very religious man and his faith in God gets proved with many religious pendants around his neck. He wears lockets and threads round his neck from Shirdi, Siddhivinayak, Shreenathji and Ajmer. "I feel protected with them," he says. Himesh will soon leave for his world tour by the end of this month.

Old Himesh Interview

Date: 2002-07-07


He started as a television soap producer and he also composed the title songs for his serials. Do you still remember that 'Andaaz' serial's title song rendered by Kumar Sanu? Himesh Reshammiya is the man who made that song. In Bollywood, he made his debut with Salman's home production and now, with the popular music of Humraaz and Kyaa Dil Ne Kahaa, he has come into the limelight once again. Teenstation's Ashish Bhinde met the maker of today's Reshmi music at his residence. Excerpts of an interview…

From television producer to music director, how did you manage to do everything?
I started as a television producer, that's true but it is also true that I was trained in Indian classical by my father all through my childhood. I wanted to make it big in films and was looking out for a break. It was Salman who promised to provide me with a launch pad and he kept his word by offering his brother's Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya. Fortunately, my debut song 'Odh li chunariya' was a smash hit. Today, the grace of Maa Sarawaswati I compose at least one song a day.

Your latest work in Humraaz is acclaimed by all. How do you feel about this?
My compositions in Humraaz have come from my own bank of tunes. I have at least 350 compositions in my bank which I have created over the years' hard work. The songs of Humraaz have the element of classical ragas as their base along with the use of Techno sound. The overall impact of these songs is very youthful and live. Right from the beginning, I had the instinct about Humraaz numbers and now, that has proved true. May be it is too early to say but I am also confident that I will get award for Humraaz.

Nowadays, it has become a trend to involve more then one music director in a film. What are your thoughts on that?
I can say that I was indirectly responsible in starting this trend. In Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya, I was not the solo music director. I believe that producers have to make such adjustments due to various reasons. Having more than one music director is like a jigsaw puzzle as the songs of the movie sound like absolutely different from each other. This trend is not good either for the music directors or makers. Also, the listeners don't get due returns for whatever they spend on buying an album. I think this trend will not last long.

Do you believe that today's music has short life and it is not as sweet as the old music?
See, things have changed a lot over the period of time. Earlier, rendition was given maximum importance in any song while today, that part is played by the orchestration. The ratio of voice and orchestra was 70:30 then which is now reversed. Then that was the time when too much of homework was done before making a song. But there are more reasons to lesser life of today's songs. One of them is overly increased number of songs. Few years ago, we had three to four dozen films a year which has now increased to 300. This has stiffened the competition and before some song manages to win the listener's mind, another song comes and forces him to take its notice.

And what about melody?
It's true that the melody factor has also decreased a bit but a music director has to grab the attention within no time. And the target audience now is the youth. They love heavy orchestra and fast beat. This, however, doesn't mean that the youth has no sense of raga and good music. Most music directors use ragas extensively. In the title song of Humraaz, for example, I have used raga Ahir Bhairav. The thing is that how you pack a song and deliver it to the audience. I feel that music is just music and you have to present it in a nice way, whatever your style and way are.

We also see that songs are generally not placed imaginatively in films today. Does this affect their appealing?
Being at the technical end of the film I feel good if my music's appeal increases with its good placing in a film. But that is not a big concern to me. I believe if a song is good, it will be appreciated even if it is not placed properly in the film. And in case of film music, sometime songs become popular before the release of a film and help it to attract the audience, or sometime a good film helps its songs to gain ground.

How important is it to have a good maker while working as a music director?
Good tuning between a maker and music director results into the creation of hummable music. A good maker also presents songs well and enhances their appeal. And if he has that extra sense of music, he easily extracts great compositions from his music director. Today, some makers come with situations and demand appropriate numbers while others just come and check music director's bank to pick up a few suitable tunes for his film. Everyone has his own style and the music is created out of that.

What about lyrics writers?
I have worked with Sameer, Sudhakar Sharma and Sanjay Chhel. I personally like Anand Bakshi.

It is a trend now for music directors to turn singers. Do you have any such wish?
(Smiles) Actually, I am a trained singer with lots of studies done in classical. Yes, I wish I sing some day but as of now, I am concentrating on music. By the way, my album with Tips is under conceptualization and you can certainly wait for it to see light of the day.

Which are your forthcoming films?
Two of my films have released in a short span and Yeh Hai Jalwa is also on the verge of release very soon. I also have a Satish Kaushik film, which is a remake of South's super hit film Setu, a Sangeet Sivan film which is produced by Pantaloons (Sanjay Khan's son's debut film), the next of Abbas-Mustan and one film each of Ultra and David Dhawan.
