The music of Veer.....by Salman khan

Hi Guys,
Great to see all that wonderful feedback, thanks all of you....many of you have been asking about the music of Veer, so this blog is dedicated to just that... The music is all set to release this week, you all must have already seen the Salaam aaya promo on air, am glad a lot of you have liked it..

Not compromising on the music, we have roped in the unusual combination of musical duo Sajid Wajid for the music and Oscar winner Gulzar saab for the lyrics. I had heard rumors of A.R Rahman being roped in for Veer’s music, but that’s not true, in fact I had wanted Viju Shah at that time and we finally decided on Sajid-Wajid who have done a fab job. So many of you have suggested Pritam, I’ll surely consider that in future projects.

Every night we would jam up and all of us (Anil Sharma, Vijay Galani, Sajid Wajid and I) would work with dummy lyrics. Once we got the tunes, we didn’t know how to get the lyrics. They had to be simple. Anil Sharma mentioned Gulzar saab and I asked my father and he said no one is better than Gulzar saab for the lyrics. For all these years my dad has been a big fan of Gulzar saab. And in Veer, he has given an excellent lyrical value to the music of Sajid-Wajid.

The beauty of this film is that the music had to be set in the 19th century and be heard in the 21st century. And when you heard the music, it should blow your mind away. The important factor was that there had to be a line that should immediately catch on. Anyone who can’t sing should be able to hum that tune and the world’s worst dancer should be able to tap his feet! The first time you heard the tune, you had to like it.. songs like O O Jaane Jana, Love Me Love Me Love Me, Partner, Just Chill etc.. Keeping all this in mind, the music of Veer was thought of...To have the same thing in a period film was very difficult but nothing is unattainable if you put your heart and mind to it with talented people.

So check the music out when it hits stores and keep your feedback coming in

Love,

Salman
