With Radio, Himesh Reshammiya after having carved a niche for himself as a music composer and singer, has attempted to prove himself as an actor as well. In an interview, the crooning star tells BT he now looking forward to future projects. Radio is different from your earlier films... Radio was a more urbane attempt from me as compared to my previous two films. The film was made for a target audience.
It was youthful and more for the multiplex going crowd.
The film made profits even before its release... When you make a film you always have to consider the economics behind it. A lot of money was invested on Radio and I was relieved that the film could break even with its cost even before its release.
Which are your films post Radio? I have three lined up — Pooja Bhatt’s Kajraare, John Matthew Mathan’s New Love Ishtory and Swapna Joshi’s Ishk Unplugged. Pooja is presenting me like never before in Kajraare. The film has been shot in the beautiful locales of Jordan, Dubai and Petra – the 8th Wonder of the World. This is the first time that a mainstream Hindi film has been shot there. Bhatt sahab has written a stupendous script for the film while the music of Kajraare is simply superb. I have all my hopes up for this film.
Besides being seen in films next year, you will also be seen in a mega music reality show... Yes, I have a musical reality show coming up. My past experiences with reality TV have been great with all my shows being huge successes. This show has been set on a huge scale and I am really looking forward to it.
