New Delhi Sep 2 (IANS) Composer Mannan Shaah who has worked in films "Commando: A One Man Army" and "Commando 2: The Black Money Trail" says composing music for an action movie is a very big challenge.
"Composing for an action film is a very big challenge in itself especially when it comes to giving it a musical value. I am blessed that the first film that I composed for was an action film. It was a different type of a creative high that I felt when the music of the same was received well by the audience as well as critics " Shaah told IANS in an email interview.
He is set for another challenge -- "Namaste England".
"It s a far bigger challenge as I believe that a music composer s biggest challenge is to pull off a soundtrack of a love story as music plays one of the most important roles in a love story " he said.
Talking about how he got to associate with "Namaste England" helmed by Vipul Amrutlal Shah Shaah said: " Namaste England came to me a couple of years back while I was working on Commando 2 . I have been a part of its script narrations and I ve read the script almost five times before I started working on it."
"I had prepared a few compositions while working on Commando and Commando 2 which Vipulji had already heard and he liked some of those which is when I started jamming with him on a few more songs and after those few more jam sessions with him Namaste England happened."
The film stars Parineeti Chopra who also sings.
"I love Parineeti s voice. I would love to record a song with her sometime soon. My bad that she hasn t sung for this film but there s a song picturised on her and it s beautifully rendered by Shashaa Tirupati " he said.
"We ve tried to create a complete album with all varied genres. There s romance dance fun celebration emotion hope and sufism. We ve tried to cover almost every genre that an album of a love story should have " he added.
