Why is Himesh refusing films these days?
NICOLE DASTUR Times News Network
Singer-composer Himesh Reshammiya, who has consistently being delivering hit after hit, is now on a break. He has been refusing many films for playback singing, making film makers wonder why he's cutting down on work drastically. Ask Himesh about it and he says, "I've refused 15-16 films that have been offered to me. I'm only going to be concentrating on three films in the coming year."
For those who are wondering why he's decided to take it easy at the peak of his career, there's news. There's something up the composer's sleeve, and according to sources, it's a big project. "I'm not permitted to reveal too much at this stage, but I'm venturing into a couple of new projects. They're related to the entertainment industry. It could be with music, films or maybe even something else," says Himesh. The announcement of the same will be on October 29 at the Wembley stadium in London, where over 18,000 people will be present. But won't the fact that he's cutting down on work affect his Bollywood career? "No. In fact, it'll enhance my career. What I'm going to do is related to music and Bollywood, it's not that I'm going into carpentry or software!" laughs Himesh, continuing, "I've decided to work only in big films. Gone are the days when I used to do movies in bulk. Now, I'm looking at exclusivity in my work. Job satisfaction is my priority now," says Himesh. But does he fear his popularity reducing? "Anyone can take over, that won't affect me or my work. I've achieved what I wanted to, now I only want to do the best."
