Anu Malik, who is celebrating his ?silver jubilee? in Bollywood, is threatening to literally ?
rock? the audiences when he performs ?live?
at the razzmatazz MTV Lycra Style Awards over the next weekend.
?Its not a filmy number, but a specially composed overture fusion piece for the occasion,?
enthuses the sangeetkaar who made his debut with ?Poonam? (1981).
But Malik seemed to be on a high for a different reason. ?My fans have been complimenting me for having have created musical history by simultaneously composing two diverse genres of music tracks for rival ex-global beauty queens While Sushmita Sen sings my westernized funky numbers in ?
Zindaggi Rocks? , its classical raga-based soul-stirring songs picturised on Aishwarya Rai in ?Umrao Jaan?
. And as a twister I have even scored the music for this mythological movie Jai Santoshi Maa?.
?
With the aggressive onslaught of composer-singer Himesh Reshammiya?s brand of pulsating music heightened by his high-pitched crooning, industry-watchers felt that Malik had been adversely hit by the ?
Him-mania?.
Anu lashed out at his detractors.
?Just because I don?t sing every other composition of mine and I don?
t maintain a high TV-video profile does not imply that I am a ?spent force?.
With a row of three musical mega-hits ?Murder?, ?
Munnabhai MBBS? and ?Main Hoon Na?
how can anyone eclipse my calibre. Even though there may be occasional downswings, I will always bounce back. When producers shift their loyalties it does hurt, but I move on regardless,?
he says with a shrug.
But why was Anu averse to playback singing as it happens to be the magic mantra to connect with TV audiences? ?
Unless the producer insists, I don?t impose myself. I have recently sung ?
Lets play Holi? for ?Waqt?
The Race against Time? and ?Gori Gori?
in ?Main Hoon Na?.
I am soon bringing out hot-glitzy music videos for my next romantic pop album just for my TV viewer fans,? assures the composer.
