Sporting
a
new
slimmer
look,
Adnan
Sami
reveals
that
he
feel
like
an
altogether
new
human
post
the
weight
loss.
He
is
a
firm
believer
in
fate
and
attributes
his
success
to
the
Almighty.
"Frankly
there
is
no
such
secret.
No
body
can
ever
predict
which
song
is
going
to
be
a
hit
or
a
flop.
If
such
a
formula
was
known
to
any
one
then
all
songs
would
have
been
hits.
So
there
can
be
no
predictions.
But
I
try
to
sing
those
songs
which
I
like
personally
so
that
I
can
enjoy
them
myself
and
so
do
the
listeners.
I
try
to
be
choosy
with
what
I
do
and
the
rest
I
leave
to
God."
Speaking to us at the Spectral Harmony Studio on Saturday last where he was present to record a song "Oh Jaana Oh Jaana, Yeh Dil Ka Afsana" under the baton ship of music director Bhappi Lahiri, Adnan is full of praise for his music composer.
The song is for the film 'Jhoom-Dance With Me Again' produced by Aaishwarya Babbar son of producer and director B Subhash under the banner Aaishwarya Movie Productions. The film will be directed by Shweta B Subhash and is written by Malveika B Subhash, daughters of B Subhash.
Adnan says it was his third recording with Bhappida.
"I have been his fan ever since my childhood." The song which we have recorded today is very fun-filled and youthful song. Bhappi Da always composes awesome melodies and his sense of rhythm is also great. So in this song too there is tremendous melody and rhythm and a lot of heart is put behind composing the song. I have also tried my best to sing it with all my heart.
He feels that the people are going to like the songs as 'the melody and the mood of the songs are very bright and this song is a very peppy number'.
Very fond of listening to Bhappi Lahiri's songs, he cites a number of them as examples. "Songs like 'Chalte Chalte' and 'Dil Mein Ho Tum' are very beautiful songs. There are many songs which can be named like the ones from the film Namak Halaal were fantastic."
He would have loved to sing all of Bhappi's songs.
The talented singer feels that B Subhash is a very good director and his films speak for themselves.
In Adnan's opinion the two different styles that of Bhappi Lahiri and himself would result in a fusion. He likes Bhappi's style of work. "He knows exactly what he wants and he also gives the singer the freedom to put in his own creativity to use." Adnan goes on to add, "He never limits his singers. Thus the singer puts in his creativity and the resulting fusion becomes very interesting. He encourages the singer to make his own changes which I think is wonderful."
The composer in Adnan does not get in the way while he is performing for another director. "When ever I come for a play-back singing, I come solely as a singer and I try to meet to the demand of the composer. Though there is my flavour in the song but it is that of a singer and not of a composer. I never say that I could have done better as composer. Every person has a different creative vision and one should always respect that."
According to the singer, it would be an honour for him to have Bhappi sing his composition. He feels Bhappi Lahiri's 'melody is always strong and his fusion sense between western and eastern music is tremendous.' Bhappi's 'sense of rhythm too is very good.' But, according to Adnan, the music composer's greatest quality is his Indian melody which is very strong and registers with the listeners.
Regarding his weight loss, Adnan says he feels like he is floating! "I feel like a new human being." According to him, it has been a tough journey losing so much weight. He admits putting in a lot of effort and struggle. "My health had reached such a point where my doctors had given up all hope. They had given me an ultimatum that if I don't start taking care of my health I would survive only for six more months. It came as a shock for me. And thus for my survival I took this decision of staying healthy."
