An Indian parent seldom recommends his son to take up learning to play a violin – Sandeep Thakur

Sandeep Thakur, a violinist from a western classical circuit. He has worked in movies like Mohabbatein, Chak De India, Aashiqui 2 and Dangal. He has rendered his talent to the likes of A R Rahman, Pritam, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Mithoon, Salim-Suleiman, Vishal-Shekhar and Amit Trivedi.

Now his sole mission is to popularize the instrument – Violin. He wants to change the way people are perceiving violin. Whatever small window it may be and he has already initiated his efforts with his YouTube Channel.

This talented musician has also been a part of the Dandiya Queen Falguni Pathak’s Ta Thaiya. Sandeep has done some smooth videos in collaboration with social media giants like Sanam, Studio Unplugged and Aakash Gandhi’s 88 Keys to Euphoria.

Sandeep Thakur speaks to FilmyTown:

What are Club Milennium and Peace of Mind Concerts you performed for?
Well, they are just peace concerts. The reason why I got actively involved with them is that whatever opportunity I get, I would like to promote the medium of violin apart from being part of such noble cause.

Since your sole intention is to bring awareness and more so to bring a liking and ignite a desire of the general public towards playing violin, why not come up with an album- which is created originally by you?
Yes. You are right on the dot. I aspire to do so, but you see that the ‘aam aadmi’ is so used to listening to popular Bollywood tunes, I am catering to that segment for the moment. But definitely in the very near future, FilmyTown would be the first to be informed about the launch of my Original creation.

TRIO TEAM ADNAN GULZAR AND SHAAD BACK AFTER A DECADE

It's not that long back when nation hummed Adnan's number 'kabhi toh nazar milao' and sang lift kara de  and now after much waiting Adnan is back with his very melodious and refreshing voice for the current heartthrob of the nation Ranveer Singh for Yashraj's latest flick kill Dill .

The trio of Adnan-Gulzar-Shaad is back after more than a decade for the quirky number Sweeta. When asked Adnan said, "It's been an honor to work with Gulzar ji, my association with him is very old and so is with Shaad whose a dear friend. I am quite sure the love and acceptance what we got a decade back for our song "udi udi" from the movie Saathiya back in 2002, Sweeta would get much more this time as good music is easily recognized by one and all. 

He also added 'Sweeta is one number that's very close to my heart and is in my system. I kept singing it even after recording and would carry it back home everyday.

I am more than happy that this song has become such a hit in no time. I hope to see it on number one position on the music charts and recreate the magic once again and hear the nation crooning Sweetaaaaaaaa tujhsa nahi koi meetha!
