Tips
is
known
for
good
music
and
Ramesh
Taurani
has
become
synonymous
with
Tips.
Films
like
Raja
Hindustani,
Soldier,
Kya
Kehna,
The
Legend
Of
Bhagat
Singh
and
many
such
films
have
been
made
under
the
banner
of
Tips.
Currently
they
have
a
number
of
projects
lined
up
and
so
we
had
a
talk
with
Ramesh
Taurani
himself
for
his
forthcoming
film
Naqaab.
Here
is
the
excerpt.
What
kind
of
a
movie
is
Naqaab?
Naqaab
is
a
suspense
thriller.
The
uniqueness
in
this
movie
is
that
as
the
story
progresses
gradually
the
layers
from
the
truth
will
be
removed.
The
main
cast
of
the
film
includes
Bobby
Deol,
Akshay
Khanna
and
newcomer
Urvashi
Sharma.
Tips
had
always
been
known
for
good
music;
tell
us
about
the
music
of
Naqaab?
The
film
has
a
total
of
four
songs
and
the
music
has
been
composed
by
Pritam.
It
is
true
that
Tips
has
been
known
for
good
and
soothing
music.
I
wish
that
all
the
songs
of
this
film
become
great
success
like
that
of
the
movie
Soldier.
I
think
that
the
song
'Aye
Dil
Pagal
Mere'
will
do
well.
In
today's
scenario
of
technology,
the
beans
of
a
suspense
films
are
spilt
before
interval.
What
have
you
done
to
prevent
this?
See
we
cannot
stop
technology
and
neither
those
people
who
reveal
the
suspense.
But
the
suspense
of
our
film
does
not
end
at
interval.
How
hopeful
are
you
with
Naqaab
considering
the
fact
that
it
is
a
multi-starrer
film?
I'm
confident
that
Naqaab
will
do
well
in
the
multi-starrer
category.
Humraaz
has
a
newcomer
Amisha,
while
36
China
Town
had
newcomer
Shahid,
but
both
did
well.
Tips
already
has
a
good
rapport
with
viewers
and
our
marketing
is
as
good
as
our
star
cast.
The
audience
has
become
intelligent
today;
they
watch
the
promo
before
they
go
to
watch
a
film.
What
is
the
USP
of
Naqaab?
According
to
me,
the
USP
for
the
film
would
be
'The
most
shocking
thriller
of
the
year'.
What
do
you
keep
in
mind
while
investing
in
a
film?
We
invest
money
depending
on
the
script.
The
music
is
also
chosen
accordingly.
I'm
happy
that
none
of
our
films
except
The
Legend
Of
Bhagat
Singh
have
done
well
at
the
box
office.
But
then,
even
that
film
had
won
a
national
award.
Which
has
been
the
most
difficult
film
to
work
with?
The
Legend
Of
Bhagat
Singh
was
one
film
which
troubled
us
the
most.
Since
it
was
a
historical
film
we
had
to
make
sure
that
we
had
our
facts
right.
Apart
from
that,
Race
is
another
film
on
which
we
are
putting
in
some
extra
effort.
Who
is
your
target
audience?
Our
target
audience
is
always
Indians.
See,
even
when
NRI's
watch
our
films,
they
are
Indians.
The
fair
skinned
people
do
not
watch
our
films,
so
we
do
not
make
the
films
keeping
them
in
mind.
Tell
us
about
your
up-coming
films.
