Shankar Mahadevan: You need to look good on stage, but first you need to be a good singer
Shankar Mahadevan In today's world, appearance often takes centre stage. The new generation of singers aims to be performers, not just vocalists. With live shows and concerts booming, even playback singers are stepping into the spotlight. As everyone competes to combine talent with striking looks, Shankar Mahadevan reminds us that true art must always come first. 'You need to be a good singer first' He tells us, 'Looks are important. You need to look good when you are performing on stage. But above all that is your art. You need to be a good singer first. You may look good but if you are lip syncing all the time then what's the point? That's not the way I look at things. I want to be remembered for my singing than my looks.' 'For my sons the essence of art comes before all the extras' Mahadevan, who's composed music for films like Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, shares that his sons Siddharth and Shivam (both singers), despite being part of today's generation, also prioritise art over the glitz. 'My sons are well aware of current trends—sometimes they even educate me! But for them, the essence of art comes before all the extras. You need to have heart and soul first; only then can you dress up the artist. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Perforated Stainless Steel Sheets – Durable & Trusted Source Engineered for Strength: Explore High-Quality Stainless Steel Sheet Designs | Search Ads Search Now Undo If the person is dead, you can't dress them up. It won't be of any use.' 'Hair really can change how you look' Interestingly, the maestro recently underwent a hair transplant—not due to any external pressure, but simply because he wanted to feel better about his appearance. 'I'm the last person to give in to peer pressure. My hairline was thinning, so I decided to fix it. Boney Kapoor actually recommended the doctors (Dr Pradeep Sethi and Dr Arika Bansal). I'm excited for the transformation because hair really can change how you look. I chose to do it before it was too late,' he said.

India's biggest flop film, even Amitabh h Bachchan failed to save it, film earned just Rs...., lead actors were....
Sometimes when a movie is released, and if it is helmed by a known director, has a massive budget, and features a star-studded cast, it is expected to be a superhit. However, the ingredients that are said to be the right formula for success don't always work. Similarly, when director Shaad Ali decided to make Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, fans thought the same. However, things turned out to be completely different. After the successful run of Saathiya and Bunty Aur Babli, director Shaad Ali decided to make another film, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom. The movie was produced by Aditya Chopra under his banner Yash Raj Films and was one of the most anticipated films. Interestingly, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom had a talented star cast including Abhishek Bachchan, Preity Zinta, Bobby Deol, and Lara Dutta, with Amitabh Bachchan in a special appearance. The soundtrack was among the top-selling albums of 2007, yet Jhoom Barabar Jhoom underperformed at the box office and turned out to be one of the year's biggest disappointments. Jhoom Barabar Jhoom Budget and Box Office Collection According to media reports, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom was made for Rs 25 crore. However, the storyline fell short for the audience, and it only earned Rs 27 crore net in India and Rs 38 crore worldwide. After Jhoom Barabar Jhoom flopped, Shaad Ali took a seven-year hiatus from filmmaking and made his directorial comeback with Kill Dil. Starring Ranveer Singh, Ali Zafar, Parineeti Chopra, and Govinda, the film also failed to impress at the box office. Despite having music composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy with lyrics written by Gulzar, the film could not resonate with the audience. Some of the hit tracks from the film are Bol Na Halke Halke, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, and more.
