Composer-singer Pranaay calls it a giant turn-around of the issues with viewers coming again to theatres and a spread of movies doing nicely on field workplace with most up-to-date ones being OMG2 and Gadar2.
“Music and films go hand in hand in our country as we are colourful people. Good music and content together make an unbeatable package. We know one good song can add a lot to the premise of any film in our country. As we were struggling to win back the audience post-pandemic it was a long wait, I feel. The way things have shaped up of late is magical. Films doing well means music too earned back its listeners,” says Munna Michael and Baaghi 1-3 composer.
Talking about his newest outing doing nice at box-office, Pranaay says, “The song Ho Tayyaar, picturised on Akshay (Kumar) sir and Pankaj Tripathi sung by Kailash Kher, not only plays at the turning point of the film but also changed a lot for me as the music creator. Seeing it garnering high views was so rewarding as a composer. As we all know OMG2 was set in Ujjain (MP), so the maker Amit Rai wanted something very earthy and a pure Hindi song. So, here it is!”
Pranaay shares how he earlier had thought to make use of an identical composition for Kumar’s different movie. “Akshay sir has a great ear for music, and I had prepared a piece some time back for his other film but it couldn’t be used then. Imagine, he remembered the piece and asked music supervisors to connect with me and that’s how the full song came to life for OMG2. The way sir involves himself in every department of the project is commendable for an actor of his stature who has so much on his shoulders.”
The composer who began his profession with Raaz2 asserts that OTT absolutely has helped artistic individuals to unfold their wings. “I took up OTT projects too and have been part of quite a few including Kafas and Yeh Meri Family season-2. Composing for films is different ball game whereas for OTT the requirement is too precise. My love for films is beyond doubt so I love composing for films. When I hear my songs being played, it takes me on cloud nine as I know how many sleepless nights I had before creating a single composition. This is more the reason I have stayed away from remixing till date and will continue doing original stuff.”
