His music shows dedicated to charity of heart patient in collaboration with his sister Palak Mucchal has saved lives of thousands, and still continues. He is a known face to Indore since the age of three, and is considered as one of the youngest music composers of India who gave us rocking numbers like Party to banti hain (Bhootnath Returns) , Tu hi hai aashiqui (Dishkiyaoon), What The Fark (Amit Sahni ki List). Indore’s very own singer, actor and music composer Palash Mucchal has recently launched his first video song ‘Teri Ek Hassi’ under the label of Zee Music Company. He gets candid with Youthens-News about his album, musical journey and more. Excerpts-
Tell us about your album Teri Ek Hassi and the team that created it.
Teri Ek Hassi is a single music video, story music starring Nandish Sandhu & Rashami Desai. It is directed by me. Singer Jubin Nautiyal gave his voice to this beautiful composition, and its lyrics are written by Palak Muchhal. The video is very cute with a beautiful message.
What inspired you to come up with this album?
I wanted to direct video. I was thinking of assisting someone but it could break my music career because of 8 months long shooting and other reasons. So, I was thinking how to start. This is how I came up with this idea of directing a music video. The journey while making this video was amazing. I got to learn, enjoy and live the music along with creative freedom I wanted.
How did you choose Nandish and Rashmi to star in the video?
While working on the script, I realised that I needed an innocent face. I could not think of anyone better than Nandish who is just like my brother. I was also looking for the pretty female face that could have great chemistry with him. Nandish suggested me Rashmi Desai’s name, and I had no doubt about her. We completed the entire shoot in just two days.
Which genre is the highlight in this album, and why?
Romantic soft song is the major highlight where boy is trying to make her happy. I wanted to attract youth towards a message that my video conveys, but not with party song. Romantic genre is something with which everyone connects.
What are your expectations from Teri Ek Hassi in terms of shaping up your career?
It will certainly act as a ladder to my ambition of creating good music. I am already getting super response for the video like tweets from celebs such as Shipa Shetty, R Madhavan, Raj Kundra, Aaditya Thackery, etc. Not only this, my inspiration Ashutosh Gowariker has written this very special message for me – “It doesn’t look like it is Palash’s first video as a director as it looks so smooth!!! He has captured the emotions so well…he has got a very bright future”. Also, I have already started working on my second music video with a popular actress of Bollywood. I will begin the shoot soon.
Do you think that the trend of album is making a comeback in India with new avatar of singles?
Yes, the trend has already started with Honey Singh and Tiger Shroff releasing album and single videos. It is an amazing trend, and this is how it rolls in western countries. It is less being commercial and more about freedom. I love it!
You have also acted in Ashutosh Gowariker’s Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey. Are you still pursuing acting?
I don’t want to act as of now. I am enjoying composing music and directing videos. I want to direct a film in the long run. My focus right now is on my music career and music videos.
You are one of the youngest composers in India. How do you manage the creative responsibility and fame?
It feels great to be the youngest music composer of bollywood but its more about blessings of my people. I am more focussed now after the success and the faith that people have shown in me. I believe that you have to be focussed and very passionate about your work if you wish to achieve something. And if you are talented enough, you will get your chance to prove it.
Which is your most memorable moment in music industry?
There are so many memorable moments but the best was when my first song came on radio/TV. I and my family were in tears. We still get emotional when mine or Palak’s songs come up. I also can’t forget the moment when I met Shilpa Shetty while recording a song with Mika for her film. Her first sentence when she saw me was- “Arrey he is a baby mann. Are you sure you have composed all these songs.”
What keeps you busy when you’re not working on music?
I love playing cricket, PS4 and watching football games during free hours. I watch 2-3 movies every week to learn more about music and film industry. Besides all, I love to fight with my elder sister Palak. We can fight on any topic. She is my idol though J.
What are your other upcoming projects?
I am doing 16 movies as a music composer. My next film is “Tere Aane Sey” starring Purab Kohli in which I have created seven songs sung by super talented singers like Arijeet Singh, Palak Muchhal, Javed Ali, Mohit Chauhan, Irfan Amaal Malik, etc. I am also working on big banners but can’t talk about them now.
