Karan Johar: Tanishk is a musical force to be reckoned with

Karan Johar and Tanishk Bagchi

Filmmaker Karan Johar has heaped praise on music composer Tanishk Bagchi. After creating Raataan lambiyan, a love track for Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani's Shershaah, Bagchi's latest recreation of the '90s hit song, Tip tip barsa paani, from the Akshay Kumar-starrer Sooryavanshi, co-produced by Johar, has struck a chord with the audience.

Talking about the musician, Johar says, "Tanishk is a musical force to be reckoned with. He has a unique talent of blending superlative melodies with commercial prerequisites. To say that he has a pulse on the music market would be stating the obvious. [We have] been proud to associate with him and hope to continue churning out chart-busters together."

Overwhelmed with the heartening response, Bagchi says, "The skill-set to create an original number is drastically different from recreating a hit song. It's sheer stroke of luck that things have worked out in such a way, and these songs released in a matter of a few months. I am grateful that I found a sounding board like Karan Johar, who encourages his composers to bring out their best. A whole new generation has discovered the song and it will be cherished for years to come. The idea was to doff our hats to the most heard song from our childhood and I am glad we did it successfully."

Directed by Rohit Shetty, Sooryavanshi also stars Jackie Shroff and Katrina Kaif. The film has earned over Rs 100 crore at the box-office since its release last week.
