I went there with my co-writer and listened to the Kashmiri folk music. India is so rich culturally as there's a new dialect every few hundred kilometers. I wanted these local elements to enrich my film and music as well. We all know how much Shakespeare has influenced your films, given your trilogy of adaptations Maqbool, Omkara and Haider.
But to what extent has he shaped up your music? My most unusual songs have come from Shakespeare. It was in his script that the grave diggers are singing a song while doing their job. So I told Gulzaar saab lyricist that it'd be fun to do a song with dark humour. Similarly, in Othello, when Iago takes Cassio for a drink and makes him dance, I thought it's such a zabardast Bollywood song-and-dance situation. Hence, ' Beedi Jalai Le ' in Omkara happened. Besides these instances, I'm just fascinated by poetry.
And Shakespeare was a great poet. In your films, love often blooms in the midst of crisis. Do you also use this contrast, of tension and melody, in your music? I don't do it consciously. It usually stems from the situation. It is interesting that when I write, the writer within overcomes the director. And when I make music, the composer in me gets the better of the writer. So this conflict is always there.
And without conflict, without tension, there can be no music. But basically, I'm a film composer. So the film is my priority even when I make music.
A still from 'Aao Na' in Haider. You have shared a long, beautiful partnership with Gulzar. When you work together, how is the process like? Do you have any rituals? I have heard both of you love tennis. Do you make songs while playing a game, or is the space too sacred for that?
No, when we play tennis, the focus is on defeating each other. We've made a lot of songs while traveling. So we even joke when we're unable to come up with a song, we should go to the airport and compose it there. But it's a lot of healthy back and forth between both of us when we make music.
When he was a director, the situations where there was music were refined. Vishal appeared to have purchased her entire bunch of mogra flowers to help her out. Her fascinating life story deserves a film. She is a sole bread earner of her family and is a support to her son and daughter, who are studying in college.
The twist in the story is that her family thinks that she is a night guard at a respected hospital in Delhi. The reason to lie is to not let the children know of this truth; else the children will leave their studies to not let her do this job. Sometimes, the lies are lovely and the liars are beautiful.
