Actor Salman Khan’s style is the inspiration behind music director duo Vishal Dadlani-Shekhar Ravjiani’s Sultan album. Dadlani, 42, said they enjoyed their first collaboration with Khan as the Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor did not interfere in their work.
“This is the first time we are working with Salman Khan. Salman heard the songs after we were done with the composing. He was kind enough to not to make too many changes. He was the inspiration for Baby ko Bass Pasand Hai song. He was encouraging throughout,” he said.
“When Salman performs song on-screen, especially which are full of masti [fun] like party and dance songs, he has a certain sort of flair. He has got a swag that we tried to maintain throughout the album.”
Dadlani said film’s director, Ali Abbas Zafar, played a pivotal role in composing the music for the wrestling drama.
“No film’s album can happen without the director’s input. The director is everything. He is the person who has the initial concept of the music. He also has the grip on the story that the song needs to tell and eventually, the director is the one who chooses a song.”
“We make songs according to the story of the film. Wherever the director sees a song in the film, he asks us to get it. When varied emotions cope up in the film, the songs also move in that direction. It reflects all of that.”
The music composer duo is excited to team up again with Yash Raj after a long gap.
“Shekhar and I were excited because we were coming to Yash Raj after a long time and similarly, we never worked with Ali before this film. So, all these were exciting elements for us. We dedicated a lot of time and put great efforts in the film.”
Dadlani says there are two beautiful songs on this album. “One is Jag Ghoomeya. It is a nostalgic song of love. And the other one is Bulleya. This one is a heart-touching qawwali about unrequited love. These two are beautiful songs of this album.”
Besides composing the music, Dadlani has sung Tuk Tuk and Baby ko Bass Pasand Hai.
Sultan will hit the theatres this Eid.
