Pyarelal had been in hibernation ever since the death of his creative collaborator Laxmikant in 1998. Eight years later, he returns to the musical arena with "Mr. Gharib".
"It wasn't as if there was a dearth of offers. But I couldn't sully my partner and my name by doing any and everything that came my way. I was willing to wait," confessed the reclusive maestro.
The wait is finally over. The composing maverick has finally signed on to do a movie soundtrack, his first since Laxmikant's death eight years ago.
"It's a film called 'Mr. Gharib', and it is produced by Balbir Kumar with whom Laxmikantji and I did a film called 'Santosh' many years ago. The film is directed by Sanjay Sarkar
"The reason why I've finally agreed to working is two-fold -- one, I needed to finally get back to doing what I loved the most; also, because one of my favourite actors-filmmakers, Manoj Kumar, is involved with 'Mr. Gharib'. If you recall, some of Laxmi-Pyare's best scores were for Manoj Kumar."
Two of the tunes have already been finalised. And Pyarelal, who created musical history with Laxmikant throughout the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, is working on the other lyrics that Sameer is writing.
Pyarelal gets nostalgic.
"Do you know, Sameer started his career as a lyricist with Laxmikant and me in a film that K.C. Bokadia had produced. It is a pleasure to work with young minds. I feel I'm just starting my career."
