Om Shanti Om’ has the hero being reborn with the same face. In ‘Karz’, the reincarnated hero is born with a different face. The only similarity between the two films is reincarnation.” - Unknown

We’d love to have him. He was kind enough to do the film’s ‘mahurat’ shot. And he liked our music. I’m very curious to know his reaction to our ‘Karz’. However, I’m glad we won’t be photographed together. If that happens then no one will even look at me. I don’t have the guts to share screen space with him. - Unknown

I won’t be attending the ‘Karzzz’ premiere in Abu Dhabi on the 16th. I can’t help it. I’d love to be there. Why wouldn’t I want to go? But my family pooja (special prayer) is on the same day. I can’t skip the pooja for anything in the world. - Unknown

Biography

Himesh Reshammiya

Last Updated: Thursday, March 11, 2010

Himesh Reshammiya is a famous indian singer. He studied at Hill Grange School in Peddar Road where he met his best friend Prashant Chadha. Prashant is responsible for his new look and for directing all of Himeshji’s music videos from his private album Aap Kaa Surroor as well as promotional videos for the movies Aashiq Banaya Aapne, Aksar & Tom, Dick & Harry.

At just 16 years old and before Himesh Reshammiya went into music direction, Himesh Reshammiya produced television serials for Zee TV which included serials such as Andaz & Amar Prem. The first big break came when Himesh Reshammiya approached Salman Khan (who had just made it big with the hit movie Maine Pyar Kiya) who gave him the chance to be a music director for the movie Bandhan along with the composer Anand Raj Anand.

Himesh Reshammiya became good friends with Salman Khan, a famous Bollywood actor who starred in the movie, and composed songs for some subsequent movies in which Salman starred. Since then, Himesh Reshammiya & Salman have had a string of hits for movies such as Pyar Kiya to Darna kya, Ye Hai Jalwa, Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge and the more recent mega blockbuster album Tere Naam.

From this experience, Himesh Reshammiya was able to develop his own unique style of composition, based on pop music and catchy techno beats. He also places a particular emphasis on indian melodic hooks to his songs. His most popular album can be said to be Tere Naam. With a series of popular film scores, he is considered to be one of the top music directors in Indian cinema today, along with A. R. Rahman and Anu Malik. His music is associated with the youthful and trendsetting culture that has recently been pervasive in India, particularly due to the popularity of the remixes of his songs.
