"I was apprehensive about MHTHH composers " - Upen Patel

Even though Upen Patel is himself just 2 years old in the industry and has done only 4 films so far (36 China Town, Namastey London, Shakalaka Boom Boom, One Two Three), he is happy to promote new and upcoming talent.
Two such lucky boys are composers Nitin and Sonny whom Upen is highly recommending to his friends and acquaintances in the industry. For starters, the pair of Nitin-Sonny is an emerging talent which has composed music for Upen's next film Money Hain To Honey Hain.
Says Upen, "What songs man, the guys are just fantastic in the tunes they have created for Money Hain To Honey Hain. I mean kick-ass and simply irresistible. You want hip-hop, they have got it. You want 'bhangra', they will give it you on a platter. You in mood for a club track, they won't disappoint you. Truly, they both have immense range."
While he is currently gushing about the composer 'jodi', Upen admits that he did have his doubts about the youngsters when he signed the film.
"Of course, I was apprehensive if they would be able to deliver the goods since Money Hain To Honey Hain was going to be their first film. I discussed this with Ganeshji (Acharya), the director and choreographer of the film, and he asked me to just hear out what they had made. He was supremely confident about Nitin-Sonny and so did I once the songs were played. The two have managed to influence me so much that I want them to get rocking a big way in their career ahead", details Upen.
Recently, Upen also shot for the promotional title song from the film. Smiles Upen, "Ya, you know how it is! You get a movie in place and then you certainly want to have an accompanying promotional music video as well. Thankfully, I have been lucky with my tracks like 'Aashique Ye Meri' (36 China Town) and 'Shakalaka Boom Boom' (Shakalaka Boom Boom) which have been groovy dance numbers."
He adds, "I am now looking forward to another one in my repertoire, once the title song of Money Hain To Honey Hain is out. I am kicked about the tune and the music video is shaping up well as well. It is grand as it features the entire case of the movie ranging from Govinda, Aftab Shivdasani and Manoj Bajpai to Celina Jaitley and Hansika Motwani."
As per the current release plans, Money Hain To Honey Hain is looking at a May 2008 release.
