While Himesh Reshammiya and Pritam dominated the music scene in 2006, composer duo of Vishal & Shekhar had to contend themselves with Taxi No. 9211, Golmaal and I See You last year. Meanwhile they were getting all set for a rocking 2007 ahead with projects like Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd, Tara Rum Pum, Cash, Alladin, Airport and Om Shanti Om ahead.
With number of interesting projects in their kitty, what makes them so excited about the score of Om Shanti Om, a film that brings director Farah Khan and Shahrukh Khan together after Main Hoon Naa?
"Yes, of course we are quite excited about this film since it comes with a fresh subject. An entertainer in the making, it traverses generations that only aids in bringing variety to the kind of music we are composing for the film. Also, it is an honor to have someone like Pyarelal [of Laxmikant-Pyarelal] arranging a song for us", says Vishal Dadlani.
Arranging a song? Wasn't he actually composing a few songs for the film as a guest composer?
"Na na, this was not the case. It is anyways such a proud moment to have him consenting to arrange a song for us which has been set in the 70s. We were so scared to be actually approaching him since we wanted all his years of experience to help recreate that magical 70s feel for this song", he clarifies, "It is so nice of him to step in as an arranger. The song is already recorded and he has done a phenomenal job there."
So which is the song by the way? "It is a number called 'Dhoom Taana' and is a tribute to the space Laxmikant Pyarelal belonged to. And before you think it is a 'bhangra', fusion or a dance number, let me clarify that it is based on the 70s filmy situation. Won't be able to divulge anything more and you would have to wait for the soundtrack to arrive," he signs off!
