Thrilled To Bits: Gulzar
One of Anu 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 Anu, "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 Nigam 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."

Thrilled To Bits: Anu Malik
Starring Pakistani actor Humayun Saeed, Anu 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, Anu 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, Anu 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."
