00:00This is, I would say, the pinnacle of my performance career, and I'm hoping it's not the eventual

00:10pinnacle.

00:11I'm hoping that this is the beginning point of, starting point of a lot of higher pinnacles

00:17in the future.

00:18When we had to take a show to the next level, I had this thing in my head that we would

00:22want to take a bigger team, musically, technically, put more thought and emotions behind the

00:29concert.

00:30Audiences over here are very involved.

00:36The promoter and the family, the team itself is so musical that they deserve a show like

00:44this.

00:45They deserve something as musical, as emotional, as epic as this one.

00:52I'm really happy that everything has come out, taken shape so beautifully, and we are

00:58looking forward to performing on the 5th over here.

01:01I've worked enough in my life, I've been working for the last 36 years now, on stage.

01:06In this industry, this is my 22nd year.

01:08This is time for me to do quality work and some good songs come, like Abhi Mujh Mein

01:13Kahin from Agneepath comes and gets us so much of accolade and love and appreciation

01:18from the people.

01:19Lots of good stuff is coming up, and I'm happy doing the quality work that I'm doing.

01:23Everything is enjoyable if you're with the right people, you see.

01:26I feel if the composers and the writers and everybody, the team is not passionate, then

01:32you don't really enjoy working with them.

01:35So I feel my career has been pretty diverse, I would say, in terms of music.

01:45And that's how it should be.

01:48I don't want to, I've never wanted to be typecasted and I've always ferociously fought against it.

01:53I've gone through all those phases and I always keep trying to, you know, wherever the mud

01:58sucks me in, I leave that mud and I kind of make myself exclusive.

02:05And I do not want to be typecasted ever.

02:08So I love everything, as long as the people I'm working with are deserving of my passion

02:14towards my work.
