he young and dynamic Music Director, Aadesh Srivastava started his career in 1990 with his first musical Debut “Sailaab” alongside renowned music director Bhappi Lahiri. But his first big break as Music Director came with the 1994 film “Aao Pyar Karen” with his hit number “Haathon mein aa gaya jo kal”. He will own now jay Gharana in SRGMP in 2009.

HE MADE everyone shake a leg with the Big B in Shava Shava (Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham - K3G). Prior to K3G he had done it with Sona Sona in Major Saab. Aadesh Shrivastav tunes these kinds of scores with great gusto.

This talented brother-in-law of music composer duo Jatin-Lalit is now going miles with his score for a Hollywood movie Hanuman.

He has his plate full of musical assignments - Deewar (starring Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt) B.R. Chopra's Baghbaan (Big B, Hema Malini and Salman Khan), Govind Nihalani's Dev (Amitabh, Kareena, Fardeen and Om Puri) and an untitled film of Kalpana Lajmi.

His music may sound loud, but has verve and a `Punjabi Bhangra' feel about it.

Aadesh Shrivastav has a funky look about him - streaked hair, a trendy, tiny beard at the end of the chin, loads of jewellery and hip clothes.

"Hanuman has a modern look and children will enjoy it. Produced by Raju Patel and directed by Luis Mandoki, (director of the JLo starrer Angel Eyes) this movie will have music based on classical raags and a blend of symphony and opera."

"This is the first time the London Philharmonic orchestra will be playing in the film. I will be recording with them in August. The initial scratches are already complete," says a happy Aadesh about his Hollywood project.

In Baghbaan Aadesh got Amitabh to sing five songs and roped in Pakistani Sufi singer Abida Parveen.

"Deewar will change the musical trend. It is classical in a modern format," says a proud Aadesh. Also on the agenda is a private album under an international label sometime towards the end of the year.

"I have teamed up with Hugh Paghdan, five times Grammy Award winner. The album will have 100 per cent classical music in a dance mood. I have sung three songs and I will be recording more later. That will surely be something to look out for," he says.

How does he feel sharing composing space with others? "When Karan Johar was not satisfied with Jatin-Lalit and Sandesh Shandilya he asked me to compose. Also I share a good rapport with Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan. I did four songs in Chalte Chalte because of the emotional rapport I share with Aziz Mirza and Shah Rukh. But after K3G and Chalte Chalte I don't want to share space with other music directors. It's a wrong practice," he says emphatically.
