I wanted Tu Mera Dil to become a different kind of track with my saxophone portions and the brass section.

But he is such a prolific singer, it did not take him long to adapt to the situation. Mame bhai is more into Rajasthani folk music and here I tried to put him in jazz and big band kind of set up, pulling him out of his comfort zone. So, please tell us about the experience of working with Mame Khan. So, most of the scenes for the video were shot separately except for the ones where we are jamming together.Ģ) You and Mame Khan come from different schools of music. So, he came to our Mumbai studio and it took us nearly six hours to complete the recording. When I recreate an old song, I don’t fiddle with the singing style I change the arrangement behind it. The texture of his voice was perfect for this track, so I told him we can do a version of this song but I will have a different approach to it. The idea came during one of the jamming sessions with Mame bhai. Although, I loved the original, I wanted to create another version of this song since the beginning of my music career. ‘Tu mera dil’ has been very close to my heart. The 39-year-old also opened up about the machination of the music industry, lamenting the lack of creative control for composers.ġ) How did you come up with the idea to recreate ‘Tu Mera Dil’? In an interview with plunge daily, the ace musician ruminated on art, post-covid life and state of music in the film industry. The multi-instrumentalist, who has a penchant for recreating old melodies, said it’s more of a tribute to the original with which he has a nostalgic connect. Music composer Raghav Sachar recently released a new cover of popular Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan song ‘Tu Mera Dil’.
