The wordsmith Prasoon Joshi
Aamir Khan, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, and Aditya Chopra. Lyricist Prasoon Joshi is definitely working with the best in the business, and he wants to make sure that it stays that way. All the projects I am working on right now, are with people that I enjoy working with. I am doing the lyrics for Kunal Kohlis next with Yashraj, and both Adi (Chopra) and Kunal are people I get along with fantastically. In fact Adis and my idea of film making is totally similar, says Prasoon. Even the others that I am working with are people that I connect with. Rakeysh (Mehra, director of Rang... is also someone that I have known for a long time, and it was quite natural that I wrote lyrics for Rang... as well as his forthcoming film Dilli 6, he adds. So is it that he chooses the people he works with, or is it a coincidence? He replies, No I think its just good luck that I have had the fortune to work with those who are also friends. However, Prasoons most awaited release is of course Aamir Khans home production, Taare Zameen Par, which releases at the end of this month. Of course, Aamir and me is a relationship which has really developed over the years, but he is one person who wants only the best and demands the same out of everyone else, he smiles. Writing lyrics for a kids film was not very easy and it took me some time to get into the groove. Of course when I realised that I was using my head over my heart to write the lyrics I realised where I was going wrong, and from then on, I was okay, Prasoon says. Prasoon is also writing the lyrics for Aamirs next production Gajini, which has A R Rahman as the music director. I am really excited about it, but I will talk about it when the time is right, he concludes. http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?newsid=1138242
