I have the opportunity to collaborate Akshay Kumar On multiple projects, and while working with him as well as Emraan Hashmi, Karan Johar, DJ Chetas and Azeem Dayani, we always keep in mind that the song should be commercially successful and the lyrics should be simple. Keeping in mind Akshay’s personality and his unique presentation style, we keep all these factors in mind. As a result, there is always a certain level of pressure to ensure that the final product is up to par. However, we managed to overcome these challenges and we are getting positive feedback.

When I first started working with Salim-Sulaiman and Sajid-Wajid, I noticed that each musician has his own distinct style, melody and soundtrack. Working with different musicians has taught me a lot throughout my journey, and I’m still looking forward to learning more. The music industry is constantly evolving, and we must keep up with the changing demands and styles.
Our work as a lyricist is like a spice that can be added to any dish to enhance its flavor. Similarly, working with musicians involves finding the right mix. During my 20 year career, I have experienced both success and failure, but each experience has provided an opportunity for growth and learning. As the saying goes, the ocean of knowledge is vast, and there is always room for more exploration and discovery.
You have also composed for films like Romeo Akbar Walter and Pagalpanti. Tell us something about your journey as a musician.
I was doing party songs, item numbers, and also to a lesser extent romantic songs like “Teri Meri,” “Hum Tumko Nigahon Mein,” and “Tera Chehra Jab Nazar Aaye.” Early in my career, I had the opportunity to work with Himesh Reshammiya and learn more about the art of romantic songwriting. Later, when I collaborated with Bhatt Sahab, I gained more insight into the craft and honed my skills.
However, I felt that I was not getting the kind of projects that I was expecting until Ajay Kapoor (producer) ji gave me an opportunity to work on the film RAW, and I did “Har Watan Mera Naaz Hai Tere”. composed the song. John abraham. The song got a great response from the audience which boosted my confidence. I also worked on “Main Chala”, a single by Guru Randhawa and “Junoon Hai” as part of my continuous growth and development as a lyricist.
