How will he teach youngsters how to sing on Sa Re Ga Ma, asks the music director who's leaving the show to join Star...
Former Sa Re Ga Ma Pa judge, composer Aadesh Srivastav has unleashed a blistering broadside on his replacement on the Zee show, saying one of India's most popular singers was incompetent. "Himesh doesn't even know how to hold a harmonium, how is he going to teach young participants to sing?" asked Aadesh, whose own compositions include "Sona Sona" from Major Saab, "Shava Shava" from K3G and "Chali Chali" from Baghbaan -- all three songs for Big B.
Zee is launching new episodes of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa - Sangeet Kaa Mahayudh, after the team handling the show moved to STAR. The new Zee judges (called mentors on the show) are Himesh Reshamiyya and Ismail Durbar, and the previous mentors aren't too impressed. "Zee's show has no standard.
They have given Himesh complete responsibility of the show and he appears to have taken charge," said Aadesh. Asked why he was so bitter and whether this was a question of sour grapes. Aadesh said his dislike for Himesh came from the singer's constant hunt for publicity: "He is promoting himself by spending his own money. We are composers and my day still begins with regular riyaaz. If I call Latadidi (Mangeshkar) to sing for my song, she will come without hesitation. Himesh can never manage this." Ouch. That was aimed at Himesh's ongoing feud with Asha Bhonsle, who expressed the desire to slap him after he compared himself to her husband, RD Burman.
Aadesh said he wasn't jealous of Himesh getting the show, claiming to have been offered it first and having turned it down: "They approached me, but I refused. I don't want to work with new people and a new team. I did the first series because of Gajendra (the producer), with whom I've worked for 15 years. I had also observed the atmosphere on Antakshari (also on Zee TV) which I didn't like. In fact it's a useless show. So when Gajendra asked me to work for his new show on STAR, I accepted and we're shooting next week, but anyway I wish the old show all the best."
Other than Aadesh the earlier show's mentors were Jatin-Lalit, who will also be moving to STAR. Jatin said: "Yes, I have made my commitment to Gajendra. So I'm doing his show for STAR and soon we start shooting."
