Salman Khan produced Notebook starring debutantes, Zaheer Iqbal, and Pranutan Bahl, has already released and with the scenic beauty of Kashmir at the display, the movie has managed to create the right buzz. Apart from the picturesque landscape, it is the music of the movie which has managed to tug at several hearts. In an EXCLUSIVE chat with Pinkvilla, music composer Vishal Mishra opened up on being mentored by Salman Khan, working on Notebook album and more. While Vishal has already worked with Salman before, this is his first movie where he has been responsible for the entire album. Quite a feat, we say!
How happy are you with the response to Notebook's music?
Its been unprecedented and overwhelming. I feel grateful for all the love that has been coming in. I have been getting messages from all quarters sharing their memory with the songs that it is just an overwhelming feeling.
You have collaborated with Salman before. How has it been having him around?
This is my fourth collaboration with Salman.. first was with first we did a Marathi song together, then Race 3, then Rafta Rafta song and now this. This is the most satisfying one by far. It's only been a dream. I never thought I would work with him. I can't even call it a dream, because I never dreamt of it. It is about having him around you. I am 27 and he has been around in the industry for more than 30 years, he guides you through your good and bad, tells you what is right or wrong, I just respect his vision and adore his energy. Even after being such a superstar that he is, he continues to work so hard, it is very inspiring. It is more than a professional connect with him. I feel really grateful to have him around.
Has he guided you or given any inputs when it comes to the process of song making?
He does everything actually but he will never interfere in your arena. He heard all the songs and gave his inputs but never interfered in the process of it. It is blissful to have him give his inputs. It is not about the movie or work, it is about being around him, you know. I am glad one of the few people who are close to him. he is actually like a mentor.
What was the most satisfying part of working on Notebook's music?
This entire album on its whole is a very different album. It cannot fit in any other film. We have had over 200 musicians playing and it is the most organic music that I have made so far. It is electrifying and I am very happy about it.
