Radio City's Love Guru

After being the resident Love Guru on Radio city for the past five years, I am carrying forward my persona on the silver screen.

It was more or less the same experience for me as I am doing what I do every day in the radio studio.

Going for a song

The rules of the music rights game in the Hindi film industry are changing at light speed. When music wizard A R Rahman refused to compose for Farah Khan's Om Shanti Om when denied a share in the film's music rights, he didn't know it would create a tumult in the composer fraternity.

Multi-composer films - Making light work, or spoiling the broth?

In November 2007, Anees Bazmee's Welcome kicked in a new trend in Hindi film music. No longer do multi star cast films mean an impressive line-up of stars, they also imply an equally august roster of music composers. Sunday, Mission Istanbul and Jimmy followed Welcome.
