Music composer Himesh Reshammiya, who is back as a judge on the 12th season of singing reality show “Indian Idol”, believes the culture of following any kind of trend in the music industry should end and one must rather focus on coming up with new work. The music director, who became a rage in mid 2000s with his songs in films such as “Aashiq Banaya Apne”, “Namaste London”, “Aksar”, “36 China Town” and “Apne”, said he refrains from repeating himself and always aims to swim against the tide.
“The composers need to improve and take over from following trends. I have always worked against the tide. When ‘Tere Naam’ was doing well, I broke it with ‘Aashiq Banaya Aapne’, then ‘Bodyguard’, ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’ happened.
