I have completed 21 years of composing music in Indian films.
I've been composing music for feature films since 2007. I've been creating music for films for 13 years and I totally enjoy and love doing that. However, I have a lot of music inside me which I want to share with you all in a different way.
All these years, I have never forgotten what my parents have given me, and that is why I take special pride in composing music based on ragas and used folk music in films like 'Apne Paraye.'
In the history of Indian cinema I am the only South Indian director who has survived for 12 years and 25 films in Bollywood.
Films today show only a dream world and have lost touch with the way people really are... In this country, people die at 21. They die emotionally at 21, maybe younger... My responsibility as an artist is to help people get past 21... The films are a roadmap through emotional and intellectual terrain that provides a solution on how to save pain.
Indian cinema has completed 100 years. How many new stories can you bring every time? It's not possible.
I could create music that sounded as strange as any electronic music, because you see, my opinion about electronic music is that the real composer is the guy who invented the instrument. Pressing buttons is not composing. Composing is about creating something.
I've done 21 films in eight years, and I've said 'No' more times than I've done films.
I was not interested in films, but I was forced to act when I was just 14 or 15 years old. Now, I feel that that was not the right age to enter films. One should at least be 21 to enter the industry.
I have been working and composing music since 1986. Over the years, I have seen our music industry go through all kinds of transformation.
I completed 25 films in 16 years and I feel very happy about it.
Nobody wants the expenditure of a lease on a factory which lasts 21 years. You can't plan 21 years ahead.
I started making 8mm films when I was 13, so I've been directing for 21 years.
Bollywood music is definitely a big part of Indian music and can be a great way to introduce people to the sound. But I hope to continue to incorporate other types of Indian music into my work.
I just don't feel like composing music for films because I find there is too much pretense in the industry and creativity has been replaced by the sole thought of making money.
The following twenty years would be the nadir of American Indian history, as the total Indian population between 1890 and 1910 fell to fewer than 250,000. (It was not until 1917 that Indian births exceeded deaths for the first time in fifty years.)
I was 7 years old when I began composing. I began composing, improvising at the piano, the usual story.
