Annu Malik has composed music for his first Pakistani film, Tere Liye, with lyrics by Gulzar

Thrilled To Bits: Gulzar

One of Annu Malik's biggest dreams recently came true. The music director is a huge fan of Gulzar and was thrilled when the veteran lyricist asked him to compose music for a Pakistani film he was working on, and later even complimented him for it.

Says Annu, "I got a call from Gulzar uncle, asking me to compose music for a Pakistani film called Tere Liye.

I was totally excited because no one in his right mind would want to miss the opportunity of working with him. He's a legend."

Noted Indian screenwriter Javed Siddiqui has written Tere Liye, with song lyrics by Gulzar.

Says Malik, "The first song we recorded has been sung by Sonu Niigaam and Alka Yagnik. It's a soulful ballad and has a lovely melody. This is the first time I have worked on a Pakistani film."

Encouragement

Thrilled To Bits: Annu Malik

Starring Pakistani actor Humayun Saeed, Annu says the film is a beautiful love story.

"When I heard the story, I knew there was a good scope to work on some really melodious songs. I will be recording around seven songs for the film," he adds.

Describing Gulzar's reaction after hearing his composition, Annu says, "He came and hugged me and kissed my hands. It was one of the most emotional moments in my life.

I never dreamed that some day this would happen to me. Getting such encouraging feedback from Gulzar uncle is a huge deal."

On another note, Annu is also excited about the response that the first episode of Indian Idol 3 got last week. "People are liking what they are seeing.

I think this season has started off on a very high note and people are saying that I'm keeping it real. That's how I plan to be on the show."

This is what Gulzar Saab has said about Anu Malik 6
years ago:

===========================
And Anu Malik?
I've done about four films with Anu. He has inherited
music from his father Sardar Malik. Anu has the
capability of being better than everyone.
But he sadly
lacks discipline which is very important. (Smiles) He
can never keep quiet for more than five minutes. He'll
burst if he has to keep his mouth shut. The problem
with Anu is that he can't survive if he doesn't talk
and if he talks, no one else can get a word in.

============================

I believe this is one of the most correct depiction of
Anu 😊
