Music composer Deepak Choudhary on his upcoming projects The songs of Bollywood in the '90s reminds one of cheesy lyrics,slapstick comedy,and pelvic-thrusting dance numbers in garish clothes. Music composer and lyricist Deepak Choudharys contribution to the era's music features hit songs like Sheher ki ladki from Rakshak (1996) and the soundtrack of the film Officer (2000),among others. Born and brought up in Pune,Choudhary shifted base to Mumbai in the early '90s to seek work as a music composer and managed to cement his name with these popular numbers. After a long lull,however,Choudhary is now back on the music scene with his latest work,an Islamic album for which he has composed the music. The album,titled Noor-E-Mujassam,means perfect soul of illuminated light,used commonly in reference to prophet Muhammed. I did a lot of research and took the help of many learned and talented Muslim musicians to compile this album, says Choudhary. He is also excited about his latest Marathi venture,the music for the film Asaha Atrangi,which is scheduled to be released in two weeks. There are two songs in the film with the same lyrics but very different compositions. The first version of the song Mi tula pahile is picturised on the innocence of young love and the second version is based on a moment when a father realises the pains his wife has gone through to give birth to his child, he explains. Choudhary is now working on a film tentatively titled Princess,which is based on Save the Girl Child campaign. We figured that if you have to create an impact of a social message through the media of films,you must serve it to the public in a bowl of entertainment. The casting is in progress,we are trying to get top female actors on board. The film has no hero,the plot itself is the hero, he says.
