Heer & the Hero

With Yash Raj Films as a producer on this solo,Khurrana is looking at a digital release along with a music video that is doing the rounds on music channels.

“It’s a Punjabi soft rock love ballad,and will be released in the third week of September,” says Khurrana. He admits that his approach and style of creating a song have changed over time,but not his enthusiasm to make music. The usual questions follow: why not an album,and why not release the songs when they were made originally? “Well,the ‘90s and the early 2000s were not a great time and market for independent artistes,and the songs didn’t have much of a reach. Bollywood music called the shots,and so I let it be,” he says.

Yes,he could’ve released them when his television career took off. But this “actor,anchor,crooner,donor,poser,composer,blogger,jogger and hogger” (so reads his twitter bio),decided against it. “The impact would’ve been less,much less than what a film can make and generate. A film is a mass medium and lends a face to the voice too,” he says.

Khurrana will be singing another song in his upcoming film with Sonam Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor early next year,and yet another one in a biopic that is still under wraps. In fact,he plans to sing one song in every film he signs on. Is that his lucky charm? “I guess so,and also because I want to keep doing this till I can and till the filmmakers willingly bring me on board,” he says.
