Manan
Shah
who
is
making
his
debut
as
a
Music
Director
with
Commando
wants
his
work
to
speak
for
him.
Manan
Shah
is
just
25
and
he
says
that
it
is
like
a
victory
for
him
that
he
got
a
chance
to
work
in
Commando.
Oneindia
reporter
Sonika
Mishra
got
an
Exclusive
interview
of
Manan
Shah.
Here
are
some
excerpts
from
the
interview.
How
did
you
bag
this
movie
Commando?
Dilip
sir
had
narrated
me
the
whole
script.
He
had
a
different
idea
in
his
mind
and
believed
that
I
could
do
it.
I
was
assisting
Pritam
for
a
year.
After
assisting
him
and
getting
all
the
experience,
I
began
composing
my
own
music.
Then
I
narrated
my
songs
to
Vipul
and
Dilip
Sir.
They
loved
my
work
and
it
was
then
I
made
a
few
'hatke'
songs
and
they
selected
few
of
them.
How
are
the
songs
of
Commando
different
from
the
others?
Two
songs
of
the
film
'Lut
Jawan'
and
'Lena
Dena'
are
very
different.
Very
few
action
films
have
Punjabi
songs
and
Commando
is
one
of
them.
To
bring
some
more
drama
and
emotion,
we
have
included
a
romantic
track
titled
'Saawan
Bairy'.
When
did
you
decide
to
become
a
music
director?
I
always
dreamt
of
composing
good
music
and
wanted
to
become
a
musician.
But
I
was
not
sure
whether
I
could
become
a
full
fledged
music
director
at
the
age
of
25.
Music
directors
usually
start
their
career
at
30
but
I
am
just
25.
What
did
you
do
to
make
the
music
of
Commando
unique?
The
lyrical
content
of
Commando
and
its
composition
is
different
as
it
is
totally
a
Live
music.
If
you
listen
to
the
complete
song
'Saawan
Bairy',
there
is
free
flow
of
flute
and
Saarangi.
I
personally
believe
that
live
music
creates
a
magic.
In
'Lena
Dena,'
which
is
a
Punjabi
Song,
we
used
a
Shahnai
and
also
used
Dhuliki.
Why
do
you
think
that
Commando
will
rock
at
the
Box
Office?
Commando
has
new
talent
and
people
will
watch
this
movie.
I
am
very
happy
about
Vidyut
and
his
previous
movies.
I
became
his
fan
after
I
watched
Bollywood
film
Force
and
two
other
South
Indian
movies,
in
which
he
has
done
a
fabulous
job.
Pooja
Chopra
has
also
done
a
great
job
in
Commando.
It's
a
good
movie
and
people
will
love
it.
What
makes
Commando
different?
Commando
is
a
pure
action
film
and
Vidyut's
action
is
the
USP
of
the
film.
There
are
7-8
major
fight
scenes
in
the
film
that
has
Kalaripayattu.
(Form
of
martial
art
well
known
in
Kerala).
Apart
from
that,
there
is
romance,
and
negative
shades
as
well.
I
hope
everyone
will
love
the
film
as
it
has
everything.
It
is
one
kind
of
film
in
which
two
songs
are
based
on
hero
and
heroine,
and
the
other
two
are
based
on
a
villain.
'Lena
Dena'
and
'Mungda'
are
item
songs
and
both
have
negative
shades
-
Just
like
how
in
Satya's
'Sapne
Me
Milti
hai'
was
shot
on
a
villian
(Manoj
Bajpai).
Is
it
true
that
you
got
this
break
just
because
you
are
a
relative
of
Vipul
Shah?
Everyone
should
have
a
mentor
and
the
mentor
is
called
as
Godfather.
I
got
this
movie
only
because
of
my
talent.
Vipul
Shah
saw
my
efforts
and
then
gave
me
the
chance.
He
is
very
strict
with
me
and
never
treated
me
as
a
mentor,
Godfather
or
a
relative.
There
is
family
relation,
but
when
it
comes
to
career,
you
definitely
need
a
Godfather/Mentor.
The
way
he
handles
every
situation
and
helps
me,
he
is
very
nice
and
co-operative.
How
was
your
experience
while
working
on
Commando?
Working
on
this
film
was
one
kind
of
an
experience.
Working
with
seniors
like
Daler
Mehndi
and
Sunidhi
Chauhan
is
amazing.
They
had
taken
my
songs
to
another
level.
Any
memorable
moments
that
you
can
recall
during
the
making
of
Commando?
(Laughing)
We
were
recording
the
song
'Lena
Dena'
with
Daler
Mehndi
in
Delhi.
He
wanted
me
to
narrate
the
whole
song
and
I
sang
that
song
live
over
the
phone.
I
sang
in
such
high
pitch
that
I
was
wondering
how
will
he
understand
the
song
on
phone.
After
listening
to
the
whole
track,
he
said
that
he
will
be
doing
it
even
if
he's
not
paid.
Then
he
came
to
Delhi
with
his
entire
gang
and
recorded
the
song.
In
three
and
half
hour
of
recording,
he
gave
me
400
best
takes.
I
was
confused
as
to
which
one
is
the
best.
What
are
your
forthcoming
projects?
As
of
now
I
am
waiting
for
the
release
of
Commando
and
after
the
release
of
the
movie,
I
will
decide
which
project
to
choose.
Yes,
I
am
getting
some
proposals
from
the
producers.
As
of
now
I
am
just
concentrating
on
Commando.
Shouldn't
you
be
branding
yourself?
I
want
my
work
to
speak.
I
want
people
to
listen
and
enjoy
my
songs.
That
will
be
my
biggest
victory.
I
just
want
to
brand
my
compositions.
What
do
you
want
to
say
to
our
readers?
All
I
would
like
to
request
people
is
to
please
go
and
watch
the
movie.
Hope
people
like
the
way
the
music
of
the
film
is
made
and
they
love
the
film.
It
is
releasing
on
12th
of
April
and
I
wish
everyone
will
like
the
movie.
