Humko Maloom Hai is Mine

Anu Malik is in deep trouble now.

Humko maloom hai… is mine!'

A R Rahman's nephew G V Prakash speaks up now. And he is baffled at Anu Malik trying to hog credit for his composition

Subhash K Jha

All of 19, and G V Prakash is raring to go where his uncle A R Rahman has already been. Rahman's talented young nephew (he's Rahman's sister's son) Prakash was lately in Mumbai working over the music of Shirish Kunder's Jaan-E-Mann.

He's reluctant to reveal the extent of his contribution to the Jaan-E-Mann soundtrack. "Anu Malik has been calling me repeatedly. I don't know what to say… The fact is 'Humko maloom hai ishq masoom hai' is mine, completely mine. Every note in that is by me."

Er…hasn't Anu been fuming on television about a Mumbai Mirror story that quoted a source as saying the songs were done by Prakash?

Prakash sounds confused by this attempt to steal his credit. "I don't know about all this. I just want to do my work. When Sajid Nadiadwala and Shirish Kunder called me to work on the music in Jaan-E-Mann I happily went from Chennai to Mumbai," he says.

Prakash is looking at a career as a music composer in the Hindi as well as Tamil film industry. He says, "Because all the good movies and technicians are in these two languages. I agree you can hear a heavy Rahman influence in 'Humko maloom hai'. I'm influenced by him because I've been training under him for four years. But I'm trying to forge my own identity as a composer. Fortunately, my first song in Hindi for Shirish's film has been well-received. "

Prakash cannot speak Hindi at all. He was therefore at a loss when Gulzarsaab's intricate words were offered to him for composing. "But Shirish Kunder explained the words to me. So it was easy," he says.

Prakash is now working on Ram Gopal Varma's Darling in Tamil, starring Madhavan. "The Hindi music is done by Amar Mohile. I've already composed one song for the Tamil version I'm doing a completely original background score and totally original songs for the Tamil version of Darling."

ohh... 😕 😕

thankss

It seems to be another fabricated piece by Mumbai Mirror and picked up by S.K.Jha....😆

G V Prakash, A R Rahman's talented nephew, is not exactly a happy man at the moment.

The teenage composer finds himself dragged into an unnecessary controversy regarding the music of Jaan-E-Mann.

"I am only the music arranger, not the composer," insists Chennai-based Prakash.

The debate about who the film's composer was began when a Mumbai newspaper ran a report on Thursday focusing on rumours that it was Prakash who composed the music, not Anu Malik.

"The tunes are set by Anu Malik," clarifies Prakash. "Arrangements like the rhythm and flute are by me. Except for the tunes, I did the rest of the music."

The interesting and unusual soundtrack is doing very well on the charts, scoring Anu Malik his first hit of 2006.

Malik's career has not done well these last two years, dogged by the shadow cast by Himesh Reshammiya in the months following Aashiq Banaya Aapne.

His last big hits were Murder and Main Hoon Na, both in 2004. 2005 and 2006 belonged to Reshammiya, who delivered 31 hit tracks.

rediff.com called and sent Malik text messages, asking for his side of the story, but the composer was unavailable for comment. He told the Mumbai newspaper, 'I swear I have composed all the songs for Jaan-e-Mann.'

On Saturday, another Mumbai newspaper said Malik had sent a legal notice to the first Mumbai daily, asking that it apologise for its story that he did not compose the music for Jaan-E-Maan.

When told about the report, Prakash -- non-controversial like his famous uncle -- says, "One shouldn't create a controversy over a non-issue."
