Ali Azmat, of Sayonee fame, will now debut as a Bollywood music director and singer. He has already signed one of Rahul Dholakia’s episodes on Mumbai 11 and Tera Kya Hoga Johnny, which is directed by Sudhir Mishra. Azmat has also completed his album Klashinfolk and will be releasing it in December.
Ali says, I am in India right now to shoot for my album Klashinfolk. I have wanted to come to Bollywood for sometime now. I have been great friends with Rahul Dholakia, Sudhir Mishra, Aditya Bhattacharya and Anurag Kashyap for a long time. I am glad that I am doing Sudhir’s and Rahul’s films. Besides that I have already shot two of my videos and will be shooting one more for my album.
Speaking about his band Junoon, he says, We separated three years ago and apart from anything else it was the distance which was a major problem. Both Salman and Bryan are in the US and I am in Pakistan. We rarely interacted and to form a band, we need to keep on churning out songs and compose music everyday. We used to meet once or twice a year. I am not in touch with them now as they are busy doing their own thing and I am doing my own.
When quizzed where he was for the last couple of years, he says, I had released an album Social Circus, but I don’t know why it was not promoted in India by the music company. The album is a huge hit everywhere and I have won 22 awards for it, including the best song, best composer and best video, among others.
Finally, speaking about the two films, he says, I am not concentrating on any particular genre as such and it will have different songs from reggae to rock and roll, and hard rock to soft tunes. I have just composed a very dark song for Rahul’s film and I have also done reggae for Sudhir’s films. I truly believe that whatever the genre, the song will do well if it is melodious.
