Mumbai: Music composer Pritam has seen unprecedented success, and has been going on it continuously for the last 25 years. It is not easy to stay on top of the game for so long, and so many times.
But, the musician ensures that despite being sticking to hardcore commercial values in his soundtrack, he gives some novels. A large part of his success comes from his open mindset of how his companions or colleagues think and work. For example, Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma-starrer ‘Safar’ song of ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’. Pritam imagined the song to completely separate, which is currently in terms of texture and style.
However, it was superstar singer Arijit Singh, who changed the syllabus of the song. Pritam recently spoke with IANS, and explained how the song was made. He told IANS, “Therefore, the initial idea in my mind was really something else when I was doing ‘journey’. When Arijit came to sing, he played the guitar layer just to sing on top of it. So, Disha changed a bit.
This was not an exact direction, which was in my mind. So, when he played and sang, the guitar played, then the drain arrived, the whole thing. Because of Arijit, it moved more towards Prince Space, how Prince tracks his. So, I got very excited because I also love Prince. ,
“It is completely due to Arijit that the song went in that direction. The song I had imagined was more staunch blues.
In addition, ‘Safar’ was the first song that was performed for ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’, and it set the mood of the entire album, he said.
