In fact, in JTYJN a couple of songs like Aditi and Pappu >> Can't Dance are sung by newcomers and I think they have done a brilliant >> job. >> >> Among your contemporary composers, whose works do you find interesting? >> Well all the composers right now are really good, they all are capable of >> delivering good songs.

For JTYJN, it was the other way round. I >> thought I would have liked to sing the title track. But Abbas was dead >> against it.

Our relationships in these films were of an actor >> and a music director where the interaction is almost minimum. On JTYJN, >> though, he was playing a producer. Our interaction has been minimum. In >> fact, when Abbas and I wouldn't budge on certain issues, it was Aamir who >> played the role of peacemaker. My relationship with Aamir is very personal >> and we are friends. >> >> Didn't you fear that people would compare your title track with the >> original number? >> I really like the title track of the film. I was a bit apprehensive since >> it was a very popular yesteryear number. To give music to such a number >> always brings along the fear of comparison. However, I have treated it as >> the music for today's generation who may have not heard the original song. >> >> Since film music is so popular in India, do you think we've reached a >> stage where parents would encourage if their children wanted to earn a >> living by composing. Or do they still want composing to be left as a >> part-time job? >> Of course, I think film music is gaining a lot of popularity. So, many >> music reality shows are coming up and the turnover for such shows is >> massive. There is so much of competition in here. Music composition has >> become very challenging and thus should be taken seriously and not as a >> part-time job. As far as parents go, they should encourage their children >> because if they have the knack for composing, they can definitely go a long >> way. I think hard work always gets paid. >> >> You have an official website. Do you intend to start blogging someday?
