Himeshji: Interview!
Since the release of Karzzzz people have been waiting anxiously to see what is next from Himesh Reshammiya. In a recent interview Himesh said:
“John Mathew Mathan’s ‘A New Love Ishtory’ is almost complete. In fact, just four songs remain to be shot and after that is done, we will be through with the film’s shoot. It’s a nice romantic comedy and John has done exceedingly well with this genre,” Himesh told IANS.
There was much buzz in the industry that many of his movies, including “Kajraare” by Pooja Bhatt, were being put on hold indefinitely. But Himesh said that the movie was very much on and that only one final schedule was left to be shot.
“I just didn’t want to react when people thought that the film was shelved. What was the point in giving justifications when I knew the truth that the film was very much on,” he quipped.
“Pooja Bhatt is a very good director. I’m looking forward to the last schedule of the film, which would take place between April 24 and May 5. Just a fortnight more of work and we would be all set with ‘Kajraare’ after that,” Himesh added.
Himesh is also excited about a film being produced by Studio 18 that is set to go on floors any time.
“The film is titled ‘Ishq Unplugged’ and I begin shooting for it from March 1 onwards. It’s directed by Swapna Joshi and is a romantic comedy,” he said.
About the rumours doing the rounds about Himesh, one of the actor’s close friends said: “Himesh was just observing how things were going around him. He chose not to react to any stories or idle gossip because instead of getting into debates and clarifying rumours, he wanted to concentrate on his work.”
The friend added: “He knows that he is only two films old in the industry. He never shies away from working hard on his acting and look. Wait for a few more months, he will be back with a bang”.

nicw news

Wow!! Finally an interview from HR!!
But i wanted him to tell us about his new look also. Nevermind, this is enough for me…but for a few days only!
Thanks so much Jem!
@jem: But there is no announcement for release dates. According to this news films maybe released on may or june.
NICE!!!
Himesh,rock on with your movies!!! I am looking forward to see them, and to see you again!!!
He is a hard worker and you deserve only the good things!!
I hope he will come and visit Holland this year again!!!
Jai matadi let’s rock,,
HRocks!!!
That’s like a true star. Himeshji is going to have a blast in the bollywood very soon. He is growing immensely as an actor that we have seen in Karzzzz. He is going to do extremely well in his forthcomig films. I have a gut feeling that “Ishq Unplugged” is going to be the biggest blockbuster of the year and all other films are also going to create a mass-hysteria. Looking forward to Kajrare and ANLI release dates. Jem keep up the good work. Thanks to you for keeping us updated all the time. Jai Mata Di Let’s Rock. =D>
thats great himmu.
THANKS JEM DI FOR GIVING THE LATEST INFORMATION …. THANKS … GOD BLESS U DI & HIMESH BHAI ….. JAI MATADI LET’S ROCK!!!!! <:-P
@Aasif: thats because no dates have been released yet
I am sure they will release very soon…
i knw HR will b back wid a big bang nw……………best of luck HR..i knw u wl rock us again…….
wow thanks for the great update! seems both movies will come this summer
i want HR to rock bollywood in 2009 with his 3 films
All the best
By This It Looks Like… Kajraare will release after A Love Isstory…..:((
i dont want that..
what a long wait???…..i am sure it will be worth it….we can expect his voice sometime in may….3 months from now…..thats a long time….
…lets get the facts right…between aap ki khatir and Red – the dark side…there was 6 months gap…in 2008…only one genuine album (Karzzz) and bonus in form of Dasavatham…
…Karzzz movie got delayed by 1-2 months…now Kajraare and New love story are delayed…and remaining films which I thought the shoot must have started long ago are just going on floors…well that’s just bollywood…
…I am a HR music fanatic who if learns that a new HR album has hit the stands and it is after hours…I would literally storm into the music shop to snatch my copy…
…I have been seeing many articles off late something on the lines…”Since the release of Karzzzz people have been waiting anxiously to see what is next from Himesh Reshammiya…Wait for a few more months, he will be back with a bang”
…as a fan I am wondering why is there a torturous wait and if there were just an album or two around the corner, then that anxious wait would be reduced and that I would be enjoying his rocking music while I wait patiently for his next movie…
…i am a well learned person and fully understand the catch and mischief rule…I will not pretend to be ignorant…although I am also desperate, I will not fall in the trap of “emosional hattyachaar”…but himesh reshammiya sir will never be able to understand my sentiments…my side of the story…best of luck in your quest to rock bollywood…
I’d just like to say that HR is not a machine who produces music 24/7 and does nothing else!! It takes time to make films and not everything goes according to plan especially with the current world situation! HR will be back and it will be with a BIG BANG!!!!
HIMESH ‘S BOTH MOVIES & IT’S MUSIC WILL BE THE SUPER DUPPER BLOCK BUSTER HIT
INSHA ALLAH
I LOVE YOU
again the media takes a dig at HR….one of the newspaper said”after karzz failure himesh is working harder than ever….”…karzz was never a flop…it rocked tge single screen theaters but didnt do well in multiplexes….finally it was declared a mediocre hit but not a flop…..going by the image the media has against HR……its better he stays out of their eyes….once the critics start apreciating him then there is no stopping him…..although in his case the critics were proven wrong…..Himeshji..make a promising comeback…this time even the big directors should stand in que to sign you….your music has no second thoughts….we dont care even if you dont get awards….you are the winner of oscars or any other award in our hearts….its time for you to prove to the world that you are bigger than Rehman….
Himeshji has every right to pursue his smallest to biggest dreams just like each n every one of us…I agree that I would indeed be selfish if I expected him to produce 24/7 music like he used to pre AKS-The Moviee…I also agree that he excelled as an actor in Karzzz and is sure looking sharp in his new cut…and I somewhat look forward to his new movies…there is no doubt that HR will be back and I hope so it is with a big bang…
…BUT…I will narrow down everything to just one question that I have been seeking answer for a long long time (for ages) and fans constantly ignoring/side lining…yes, the million dollar question “I will only sing/compose for films that I act in”…HR’s policy decision…now I fully appreciate that behind every policy decision there must be considerable thought/rationale…but considering the 2006 chartbusting year and previous golden musical years…I dare say that now the musical drought has gone bad to worse (as highlighted in my previous reality check)…now as a fan I also don’t want “HR to be a machine who produces music 24/7 and does nothing else”…but am I wrong to demand just may be just a couple odd albums which can ‘ease out’ the waiting period…since… “It takes time to make films and not everything goes according to plan especially with the current world situation!”…so during these crisis times HR could help us out with some music…which obviously isn’t possible with that policy decision…
…so in a nutshell…my problem is not with HR’s acting and I don’t expect him to compose music 24/7…my biggest and only problem is his policy decision which is the root cause of acute shortage of music that fans are facing today (and past 2 years)…am I wrong to say that why should I wait so long and be deprived of a music album only until his movie arrives…especially from primarily a guy who is a magical musician by blood and claims to have over 500+ awesome tunes in his song bank…even though I hate to say it…but the way it looks even 3 albums this year will be less for me…but considering last year there were only 2 albums…chalo abhi…atleast somewhat better…
…I am sure every fan would agree…that we have thrived upon HR’s music for last 10 years or so…that’s what made us huge fans in the first place…having said this…I also fully appreciate the fact that HR also had new fan additions for only coz of his acting…but along with a decision to act…there came another decision which was a setback for me from musical viewpoint…
…there was a time when there was 1 HR album each month…even I don’t want that again, as quality and overdose issues…but I will tell you my thinking…basically I am on the look out for any sign of upcoming release…the wait gets frustrating yet no signs…then I think about the policy decision…and get upset…
Can anyone convince me on these questions:
1.Am I wrong in saying that HR’s policy decision is justified?
2.Am I wrong in saying that I feel that his career is more inclined towards acting at present and he is using his music to promote his acting career?
3.Am I wrong in saying that perhaps HR should spare a thought for his fans and look into for himself how they are coping in the absence/waiting period?
4.Am I wrong in saying that HR should try to review his policy decision at request of some fans so that music could again get its fair due in future (and not 24/7)…a 50/50 compromise?
5.Am I wrong in saying that though HR has every right to chase his dream, he should also appreciate that he has a massive fan base who also swears by his music, and hence cater to that section as well…may be cutting a couple odd private albums to ease waiting period?
6.Am I wrong in saying that all fans miss HR’s music a ton…but are too scared/reluctant to voice their concerns to HR…or am I the only fan on this planet who is feeling the pinch…yes my only mistake is that…I am trying to voice the root cause of that problem…rather than being mute…I am voicing my concerns to make a diference so they reach HR and he can take them into account in the future…if we were all happy, then how would he know…atleast I know I am not happy, don’t know about others?
Can these intriguing questions be answered or they will forever be ignored! Can I be convinced so I can take easy rather than perceiving things in a different way…I strongly believe that I am also right in my way
I understand your questions but let’s look at it this way: if Himeshji was to carry on composing music for other films as well as his own it is possible that the quality of his work could have suffered and I am 100% sure that even some of his fans would be the first to criticise and say that “ye gaana itna achcha nahi tha” – this was already happening end of 2006-7 when we saw the release of his last albums. Hence with his policy he has tried to put quality over quantity – yes we have to wait a little bit longer for his albums to release, but with the example of aap kaa surroor the moviee and karzzzz each and every song is a musical gem – why? because he has been able to devote more time to working on the album as he hasn’t been composing in overload! As for his acting, it is his DREAM and he has the right to fulfill it – he is already top in the music field and he is continuing to create music with his acting.
@Jem: I totally agree with u… Very well answered. Acting is his DREAM n ofcourse he has the right to fufill it. As HR fans, we have to support him n make sure that audience as well as critics accept him as an actor n i’m sure he’ll get his 1% also.!
@Die hard HR fanatic: Plz have patience…itna wait kar liya hai toh thoda sa aur plz… We ARE his fans, so we have to support him in EVERY decision he makes.
*Please Stop comparing HR with Rahman. HR is original the best n much much much better than Rahman. Rahman copies music…his tunes are copied (inspired) from arabic music.
@Mayanka: thanks alot
Just a reminder to all – please do not bring any other composers into the topic….this blog is strictly for HR. Thanks
@Jem: You’re always welcome Jem!
n that’s a reminder from my side also n plz no comparisons….
HR IS THE BEST!
My request to all reshammiyans please do not use any other composer name in this topic… Because its only for one n only himesh reshammiya. We all know himeshji is the best ever… He is best in composing, singing, acting.. Then why any other is best?
one other HR is not getting any music awards is due to the shortage of his music. There were over 3 film album by Rahman and over 5 by Pritam and HR had only one Karzzzz.
If HR gives more music including music for other’s films like he used to, All the music directors, including Rahman and Pritam will be running for their money and their music will be overwhlemed and dominated by HR’s music.
Remmeber, 2005 and 2007, HR got multiple nominations and awards for singing and best music directors.
I really regret that HR stopped giving music to other’s films.
I totally approve HR’s acting career though.
What I wish is HR’s multiple music releases and just domination of bollywood music charts like previous years.
HR is the best in music, not Rahman or anyone else.
@die hard HR fanatic u know sometimes i feel like you are the lover of HR’s music only but me and many other HR’s fans love him as a good human being.i got attracted towards him because of his innocence and sweetness.and yah even because of his unique style of singing and composing.see HR is a very good person who always helped the fresh talent to get their way towards their destination and to fullfill their dreams.and now its HR’s time to fullfill his own dreams.and we his fans should always be there with him.and one more thing i have pointed out that before HR started acting he don’t use to give even a simple smile always tears in his eyes.but now just because of acting and because his dream of acting is fullfilling he is very happy and now he smiles also and laughs also.and if truely you are his die hard fanatic then you should think of his happiness too.
@Karma: please do not bring other composers into the topic!!!! Thanks, Jem
@Aasif: thanks for agreeing
“even some of his fans would be the first to criticise and say that “ye gaana itna achcha nahi tha”…you caught me off guard there but I would be honest that I am one of those fans as I try to give a critical music review…but now I am thinking I should have swallowed those words and not complained about those songs if I knew it would lead up to this…
“this was already happening end of 2006-7 when we saw the release of his last albums”…I somewhat agree after songs like ranjhna (nanhe jaiselmer) and ek kalsa (fool and final)…
…”Hence with his policy he has tried to put quality over quantity”…my main debate is of the policy decision…your viewpoint is interesting…I have been exploring all possible justifications about the policy decision…
…unfortunately…as such a hard-core music fan why do I feel that HR turned his back upon me and pulled the shutters down…your argument comes from quality viewpoint in the sense that HR should concentrate on his projects and deliver the best…but what I feel is that…while quality could be a part…HR mainly formed his policy decision…for the very fact that his absence of music would generate that curiosity value and keep people anxious on their toes (like what is happening now)…so that his movies are in the buzz…so basically his music became a shield and USP for his acting career…because if he were composing for other films too, then that x-factor would vanish and since his fans were getting his music anyway…they weren’t as restless as they are now…so basically his music brings his movies in news and creates the biggest impact for them…can you see where I am coming from????…thats what I refer to as catch and mischief rule…and I know fans would beg to differ from this argument…but assume for a second that this justification is true…I cant really blame him for this policy, even if I was in his place I would probably have done the same…as its all good if it works out the best for his acting career and movies…
…so now all would have understood why I get irked whenever there is wait…because I feel it is a deliberate / purposeful / well crafted n disguised wait in the pretext of quality issues…if the sole reason was quality issues and that he doesn’t have time for outside projects…even I can agree…but for the reasons I have mentioned above…I feel that I will be royally conned if I believe it…because this decision suddenly came when he started acting…
…you see this policy decision is well planned and analyzed…T-Series head honcho bhushan kumar and HR (along with business advisers) must have worked out this economics model and hence strategized…so that with this move…there is no stone unturned for his movies…even if it were true…I cant blame them…after all the producers are investing in HR and expect him to deliver a job…in other words…imagine if there were two himesh reshammiya’s…HR the actor and HR the musician…each with their own projects…then would have HR the musician gone about his business in the same way…
…put it this way…it is a known fact that HR’s music has tremendous mass appeal…and that fans are way too addicted to his normal dose of music…if you take it away its like a nomad without water in a desert and he would get restless…and in that lies the maximum success of movies…I am only speculating…
…I am not saying that his policy decision is wrong…I am after the rational/justification behind it…and your justification is indeed interesting…it amazes me of how fans think…but yet I keep thinking that there is another reason that I have stated…and that’s my viewpoint…and I keep on trying to reevaluate it that whether it is justified…
…and in generall terms…for his music…even those hurried bulk songs he composed before he became exclusive…all of them are doing rounds in my playlist (with exception of couple two)…looking at his previous track record (36 hits in a row) and ruling 24/7 in music channels…making music for HR is in his blood…I would be surprised if he cannot even accommodate couple odd albums in his schedule to keep us engaged…to the extent that he doesn’t even consider a guest song…and after feeling the dire consequences of music drought…I would prefer couple odd decent himesh reshammiya albums rather than have none at all…even they don’t have to be outside films…but rather a continuation of AKS series e.g. AKS volume 2,3 n so on…that’s what confuses me…is the policy decision to just for movies at expense of music, or he genuinely doesn’t have time…I thought that if he can sit through a whole season of saregamapa…couldn’t he spare couple of his private albums for sake of his music fans also (who by the way are also looking out for his movies as well)!
dear haniya…you have made an interesting observation about HR’s smile…i hope my post enlightens you of my concerns…i am not against HR’s acting…he should act and chase his dreams…but could do little more for music fans…
@mayanka…your viewpoint noted
@jem:if we dont bring other composers name then our discussions will get limited……we are not criticising them…..its just the truth we are telling….we wont bring other composers name without a reason….we will stick to HR…
Even private albums take time to be developed and need some sort of theme/scope. SRGMP is something that is close to HR’s heart and he believes in encouragine new talent so let’s not confuse that with making music…
Well I have never been against HR decision’s except for judging saregampa. I still feel that the show is spoiling himesh image for high TRP. Infact I feel that karzzzz got mixed response only beacuse of this show otherwise before saregamapa 2007 himesh movie AKS got good opening. I can wait for himesh movies, his albums for years but I don’t like to see him in that reality show. Himesh can use the same time for learning dancing and improving acting and more important music.
However this is my point of view. Whatever himesh will do I will support him.
I will also request HR to use his new looks to create a good & strong image in the market so that the arrogant image created by media will be gone forever and he can get more Fan base.
Music is the biggest strength of HR and it should always remain the biggest strength of HR. Now when people think that himesh has become repetative with his work its time to surprise them with something fresh and new just like aashique baanaya aapne.
@die hard HR
I can understand your feeling but belive me the time which is going right now is not good for album or movie.s I have got news that producers guild is decided to stop showing movie in multiplexes due to profit sharing issues from 1st April.
So it will be better that Himesh movies come at a time when there is now such issue. Also right now none of the private album is doing decent even tulsi kumar (dughter of Mr gulshan kumar) album has been postpone.
@die hard HR fanatic: Plz write in short yaar. Sometimes i actually get confused…are u HR’s wellwisher/not? please stop talking about his so called “POLICY DECISION.” Its his decision to not compose for any other movie n i think its a right decision n instead of arguing n giving our so called “viewpoints”, we need to suppor him. What if he composes for other movies..n those songs become superhit n the songs from his own movie flop, then who’ll answer???
Even private albums take time. eg) AKS album took almost a year. So i actually request you to stop making such comments please. Rather should listen to his old melodies n enjoy them…I’m sure u haven’t listened to all HR songs…even the old ones…PLease do listen to them, enjoy n stop cribbing. We need to support him. WE are his support system…u need to understand this.
…well, I didn’t mean he should forego saregamapa or anything else to make music…even I love saregamapa…I was just giving a time estimate as in what can be done within it and illustrating that if there is will it can be done…just like how HR found time for saregamapa as its close to his heart…and while I do agree that for any music album there has to be theme/scope…I believe that creative video directors are always there to lend a hand…all HR’s past music videos (including AKS) are testimony to this…but the intent/will has to be there…the bottom line seems that for some reason HR would to anything else at the moment but not make other music in addition to his films…may be it is a conscious decision from his part to make everyone realize the value/importance of his music…since he wasn’t too pleased by critics penning him down for various reasons…but what actually surprises me that I feel as if I am committing a crime by questioning his policy decision and asking for extra music…yet strangely from a man who was primarily a music composer/singer…and still is for 10+ years…
***please do not bring other artists into this discussion***
I have nothing left to say other than “good things come to those who wait”
When Himeshji’s forthcoming albums will release, they will be musical treats for each and every one of us. As for his policy decision – Himeshji has “the right” to decide what he wants to do for his career, no one or nothing can change that – his true fans like me will keep supporting him always!
@deeps: I understand but you must remember that we are a fansite for HR and we are not against any other composer/singer.
@karma…brother…you actually stole words out of my mouth…and are a rare fan who shares similar feeling like me…
@dear kashti…”Music is the biggest strength of HR and it should always remain the biggest strength of HR”…good point…about saregamapa…I think its good for HR as it’s a medium of promotion and gives him worldwide fame n recognition…and showcases his songs…about your multiplex findings…yes indeed these are dodgy/unpredictable times for films…about private albums may be your right…but remember HR has such a massive fan base…whether his private albums, other films or own films…fans are ever ready to support them…
@dear mayanka…please stop talking about his so called “POLICY DECISION…well, if a fan is upset he can keep on complaining without giving any reason…but what I have done is that I have clarified myself and given my justification/viewpoint as to why I used to get upset/frustrated/sad at times…so that now you can see and appreciate where I am coming from???…i may be wrong in interpreting it and that’s where I can be convinced that my thinking is wrong…interestingly…you come up with another viewpoint…”What if he composes for other movies..n those songs become superhit n the songs from his own movie flop, then who’ll answer???”…I assume that could be your justification for supporting his policy decision…as you said “We need to support him. WE are his support system…u need to understand this”…well, I must say that I also agree with your viewpoint…”Even private albums take time. eg) AKS album took almost a year”…or may be I am wrong on this, but I thought after mass hysteria of ABA…HR straight got to AKS and it stormed the market in Jan along with other film albums…still cant forget that time…”I’m sure u haven’t listened to all HR songs…even the old ones”…trust me…I have and that too…umpteen times…are u HR’s wellwisher/not?…i am, but also want my share of HR-cake…
“I have nothing left to say other than “good things come to those who wait” …in that case…I guez there is no other option but to wait and hope for the best…”When Himeshji’s forthcoming albums will release, they will be musical treats for each and every one of us”…agree…
“As for his policy decision – Himeshji has “the right” to decide what he wants to do for his career”…I think I am getting optimistic and ambitious to make a difference and somehow whisper into his ears…but I have realized that my voice cannot get across him and in that context… “no one or nothing can change that”
My point is achieved…atleast I am satisfied, content and lightened that I have expressed my viewpoint/justifications of what I believed was the root cause of everything and also getting me frustrated/upset…and now atleast fans knew where I was coming from…
@JEM
You are right jem. Its himesh life and he can take all his decisions.
I still remember in one of the interview himesh said that he does not want other producer and directors work getting delayed because of him and that is why he is not composing for other movies.
I am proud that himesh also think about others convinence.
I also understand as a fan the feeling which other fan have for HR. When I leave for my college my mom always instruct me to go slowly and be careful. This is not because she does not have faith in me but beacuse she loves me and cares about me. Same with HR we love him and that is why we are always worried about him.
I have never posted any messages in other blosg but I do give my comments on your blog hoping that someday himesh will read those messages and he will get encourgement from these messages. Himesh requiore lot of encouragement beacuse we know bollywood is full of crab mentality people.
At the same time we as a friend like to guide himesh and make some contribution in his career so that himesh never fell alone anytime.
@die hard HR fanatic:you have a very deep way of analyzing things….impressive…but this ‘policy decision’ talks should stop….this debate is turning into an argument….hope you understand brother/sister…..
@deeps…jus 2 let u know…Im ur brother fan (not sister)…since this thread was about anxious waits…I highlighted key points and it led to a discussion…I would like it to see that way…even if you term it as debate…I would like to call it a healthy debate…and definitely I am not here for an argument…I know that fans are ignoring this policy issue since ages…as you would have noted from all posts…interesting new viewpoints from different angles came up from various people re the policy decision (associated things)…and they actually make a lot of sense/rational/justification…and it has shown me the character of some fans and their undying sporting spirit which unfortunately I did not have…some fans swear to support him in everything that now I have doubts whether I am a true fan…as you said I have a deep way of analyzing things…well, that’s what I made of that policy decision and am glad that it got across to other fans…and I may be wrong in analyzing it…difference of opinion can correct it…I posed some questions in earlier posts and sought answers for the puzzle going in my mind, to see if it changes my thinking…now even when I am again thinking of his decision…while considering all other viewpoints…I don’t know…there is a difference in my thinking…to see whether it was ‘genuine’ or ‘deliberate’…there is no argument since if it is genuine…and even if it is deliberate…as Jem already said that its HR’s life, choices, dream and he has every right to chase them and going about his business…and fans should support and respect his decision…suppose even if I beg to differ from this (which as a true fan perhaps I shouldn’t)…still that’s the end of story…
…sometimes some thoughts are held up within itching to come out, and when they do…it feels heaps better…as a lone fan I cant really make any difference…but I express it or not…things wont change…still for some reason I wanted to get my stance re policy decision across to fans so they could appreciate it…regardless of whether I was right or wrong…just to let you know how I (a drop of HR ocean) feel…may be I am selfish and too demanding from HR…rather than respecting his decisions, I am being greedy to obtain from him what I believe is my share of right for being his fan…
@die hard HR fanatic i can understand your feeling even i was very shocked when i heard this news first time that HR is not going to give music for other movies.But now i have patience because i know HR is going to ROCK with his music very soon.and you should have patience too.see i know you are grown up listening to HR’s music and you really love it.But you know in this world we have to wait alot for good things.hope you understand bro.
@haniya…my quest is over as now I know that every fan that read my posts knows my views re policy decision…hence I have reached out…I am sure each n every fan loves HR’s music…its beyond doubt…although I can understand that some are excited about his acting prospects so the wait of his music isn’t actually hurting them…I also feel good that HR is an actor now…as per your patience/wait suggestion…there is famous saying…sabar ka plal meetha hota hai…ok now I think I am being unreasonable but frankly AKS- The Movie and Karzzz songs didn’t meet my expectation especially after HR spent much time on them…though I agree that tanhaiyaan was a gem…now I am being unfair to make comparisons but if I were given to choose a combo of Karzzz and AKS-The movie albums…and other option of Yeh hai Jalwa and Tere Naam album…I would choose the latter…although I am comparing apples with oranges, since tastes and sounds change with time…but since you mentioned the wait/patience aspect, I hope that the wait is worth it and there something off-the-hook in the pipeline…
I guess the main difference is that some fans only love HR for his music while others love everything about him
As I said in my last post….good things come to those who wait 
I guess the main difference is that some fans only love HR for his music…well, I must admit I was on a strong protest when HR declared to act only later to realize that I was wrong and selfish…I could see nothing else…any thing else he did at that time…I saw it as a tradeoff with music…but we all have dreams and have every right to pursue them…and so does HR…
…so I decided to embrace him as an actor and whatever else he may want to pursue in future…infact, I am on the lookout on how he tackles comedy since I really like comedy/humor films (ishq unplugged/A new love story)…I would love to see him mix with the mainstream actors/support actors and be in the thick of things…
…so then what is my problem…in a nutshell…whenever I think of his acting, I also think of the foregone music…so the key thing is…as a fan…if the lack of music is ‘genuine’ in the sense that quality issues, lack of time for other projects, turbulent times for private albums etc…I am totally cool and understand it fully…but if the music wait is ‘deliberate’ in the sense that curiosity value, competition between own film v other film albums, music leads to hype of his films and keeps them in the buzz etc…that’s where the speculation lies and my basis for discussion (not argument)…
…because if the wait is deliberate rather than genuine…whenever I see myself in the mirror, I see a donkey :D(I am just joking)…in other words…I feel tricked and hard done by as a music fan (in addition to an overall fan)…I feel kind of ignorant as if I did not comprehend what actually was going on…
…but I have learnt something from this post…
…I have come to terms with both options…the first one ‘genuine’ which I didn’t have a problem with anyway in the first place…yes, HR should concentrate on his projects for best outcomes, he is busy and genuinely doesn’t have time for other films, and these are not good times for private albums which also require scope…
…I have also come to terms with the other option ‘deliberate’…which my fuss, speculation and earlier resistance…that it is HR’s life, his dreams, choices…and nobody and nothing can change it…and we as HR fans have to support his every decision without questioning it since we are his support system…and even if the wait is to generate anxiety, hype, buzz and curiosity for his films (which is happening now)…so whenever aam junta pick up his next album…the music only promotes his movies…for their maximum success…mind you, that makes a lot of sense to me…secondly as another fan mentioned…what if his other film scores do better than his own films score, then who will answer?…thats an excellent justification…so all this builds a foundation for his so called business economic model (policy decision)…trust me, if I was in the same position, I would have done the same, so can I blame anyone else? No
…so after analyzing both scenerios…I have a clear picture now…rather than considering myself to be royally conned about the ‘intent’ of his policy decision…I have accepted both sides with their respective justifications…this method works to make me comprehend and appreciate his decision, regardless of whether it is right or wrong in my eyes…and for that I wonder that why cannot I be a fan like you guys…I mean…hats off to you for supporting HR at all times…you were selfless in the sense you didn’t think what you were losing out…but on contrary I was thinking as to what maximum I can extract from him being his fan rather than understanding his ambitions (as an actor) and hence the decisions that followed that would leave no stone unturned…its hard but I hope to bring that change and support HR at all times…
…I hope you would appreciate my viewpoint not from ‘only music’ to rather ‘music and acting’ both into perspective… since you mentioned…I guess the main difference is that some fans “only” love HR for his music
“As I said in my last post….good things come to those who wait”…I agree 100%
Before I used to perceive the policy decision as a camouflage as it ‘bakri ke bhes mein bheriya’…but now I have distinguished them from each other…
…even in the worst possible case scenario (which many fans may beg to differ)…I have understood that even if the policy decision is deliberate…how can I expect himesh reshammiya to take such a big risk/compromise and compose for other films at the cost of his own films…especially in this economic recession and crisis which make it uncertain/unpredictable times for any movie especially considering that even solo hero films of top actors are no exception…I never put this into perspective until reading other viewpoints…
…that’s where I said that I partly missed the point…as in…I thought that its all about me (the fan) rather than its all about himesh reshammiya…

I am a huge fan of HR. But I am missing his composition and also his voice. Please let me know that is he composing for his own starer film of for any other film. Please try to release a album in every month. We are missing you very much.
Best of luck and take care
