Yashraj Mukhate opens up on viral 'Pawri' video: It was spontaneous
Yashraj Mukhate has been giving a musical twist to entertainment on social media with his quirky creations such as Rasode main kaun tha, Biggini Shoot and, his latest viral hit, Pawri ho rahi hai. Mukhate represents a new breed of popular musicians who are increasingly realising there can be a lucrative career even outside Bollywood. He would love to score for the big screen, of course, but he says he would be okay even if he doesn’t make it in films. “I am happy continuing with what I am doing but if I get (Bollywood) offers I will definitely do. Even if I don’t, I am good. It is all good,” he told IANS.
His recent Pawri mash-up, which features a Pakistani girl named Dananeer Mobeen, became an instant hit and currently has over 5.8 million views on Instagram.
From Rasode main kaun tha to Pawri ho rahi hai, how does Mukhate pick clips for his content? “This ‘Pawri’ video was spontaneous. I saw it in the morning and I immediately thought something interesting can be made out of it. The video was already running in Pakistan and it was being shared in India also,” Mukhate said.
He credits his instincts for his success. “I saw the video around 12pm and by 2pm I had completed everything. So, it was spontaneous. Anything that clicks in my mind, I just do it. Before this I did a few dialogue mash-ups but midway I realised that it was not going anywhere and was not even entertaining, so I just trashed them,” he said.
“There are many things I start and don’t complete because I think they are not working. It completely depends on my instincts,” Mukhate added.
