Prasoon Joshi talks about his songs in Ghajini and how interfering Aamir Khan is

In B-town, everyone is on song, even if it is a shaven, tattooed Aamir
Khan who can't remember his phone number. Little wonder, Prasoon Joshi
found himself penning poetry for all the brawn and brawl on display in
Ghajini. "It is a pacy thriller with a lot of action and high energy,
but the songs are extremely important to the narrative," says Joshi
who has written five songs, all composed by AR Rahman, for the Khan
starrer.

The film is a remake of a Tamil movie that was released three years
ago, with songs written by N. Muthukumar, but Joshi says the Hindi
soundtrack is completely original. "I did not even listen to the
southern version as I did not want to be influenced in anyway," says
Joshi, who, however, watched bits of the film to "gather a feel of
it".

A little-known fact about ad man Joshi is that he is a trained
classical musician who likes to compose and sing as well, but he has
given them a miss in Ghajini. "I think it is very important for a
lyricist to have a sense of music since it's then that the song shapes
up wholly," says Joshi. He has composed and sung jingles for
Alpenliebe and Happy Dent, among others. "But it's not something I'd
do for films," he says.

Bollywood has heard enough complaints of Aamir Khan's interference,
but Joshi thinks otherwise. "He is a very intelligent man and when he
has a suggestion, it's often valid. When it is not, we argue a lot and
whoever has a more powerful logic wins. So I'd say there's close
understanding and mutual respect that allow us to bounce ideas off
each other," he says.

If Joshi's poetry is not enough, then maybe you can watch the songs
for another reason — one of them has Khan sporting six different
hairstyles. Guess it's all relevant to the narrative.
