Filmmaker
Mohit
Suri
says
his
film
with
Farhan
Akhtar
is
on
hold
as
there
is
no
script
in
place.
In
September
last
year,
the
director
revealed
he
had
approached
the
Bhaag
Milkha
Bhaag
star
for
a
film,
which
was
supposed
to
be
a
two-hero
project.
"I
had
narrated
him
the
script
but
it
didn't
work
out.''
''I
met
him
and
we
decided
to
work
together
but
we
don't
have
a
script
in
place.
It's
not
happening
at
the
moment," Suri
told
PTI.
There
were
reports
that
Suri
was
set
to
reunite
with
his
Aashiqui
2
actor
Aditya
Roy
Kapur
for
the
sequel
of
2014
hit
Ek
Villain
but
the
director
dismissed
it
as
a
rumour.
"That's
just
the
talk
because
probably
they
saw
me
hanging
out
with
Aditya,
but
nothing's
confirmed
at
the
moment.
Right
now,
I
am
just
writing."
Besides
penning
his
next
directorial
venture,
Suri
is
involved
in
creating
original
independent
music,
in
association
with
EMI
Records.
Their
collaboration
is
called
"VYRL
Originals".
The
concept
gives
a
platform
to
the
works
of
new,
independent
artistes.
Suri,
whose
films
Awarapan,
Kalyug,
Aashiqui
2
and
Ek
Villain
were
appreciated
for
their
music,
says
it
was
a
natural
decision
to
come
up
with
"VYRL
Originals".
"It's
only
in
this
country
that
Bollywood
music
satisfies
the
so
called
music
thirst
for
the
audience.
But
it's
not
that
people
are
not
interested
in
making
independent
music.
"Even
in
'90s,
television
came
in
and
there
was
a
new
platform
for
independent
music.
Today
with
digital
explosion,
you
have
an
opportunity
for
people
to
put
their
videos
out
there
and
not
just
rely
on
a
movie.
So
it's
a
great
time
right
now
for
new
artistes."
The
director
says
Bollywood
music
has
always
"survived
on
independent
artistes".
"Atif
Aslam
was
an
independent
voice
and
so
were
Honey
Singh,
KK,
Shaan,
Mohit
Chauhan
and
all
these
guys
were
into
independent
music
first
and
then
came
into
Bollywood.
So
if
we
kill
that
industry,
we
are
not
going
to
get
new
talent,"
he
says.
"I
make
an
effort
and
invest
in
independent
music."PTI
