Himesh Reshammiya seems to be keeping a low profile these days after the grand announcements regarding the Karz remake and the tapori love story titled, A Love Ssssstory. Recently, a couple of the songs for Anees Bazmee's Welcome have surfaced. And surprise of surprises, it has Reshammiya sharing credits with music composers Sajid-Wajid and Anand Raj Anand.
This is something that only happened in the Himesh's earlier days as a composer, when good friend Salman Khan would always team him up with his other buddies, Sajid-Wajid. According to sources, Himesh neglected Welcome despite being urged on by the filmmakers to complete the music. Bazmee, who is currently shooting for Singh is King in Australia, admits that it is Himesh's preoccupation with his other projects which caused a problem. According to Bazmee, producer Firoz Nadiadwala and he were very keen to have Himesh's music in the film. But Bazmee started to feel that Himesh was not giving the film his full attention. Also, he did not want to continue waiting for the singer-cum-composer to give him time. Since his producer backed him up, Bazmee approached other music composers to complete the film's score. However, Himesh says that he did some music for Welcome some 15 months ago. He says that he opted out after the success of Aap Ka Suroor as he had decided to stop giving music to any film other his own. But he insists that there is no bitterness between Nadiadwala, Bazmee and him. But it seems that Himesh's exclusivity contract has not gone down well with many in the industry. It seems that Himesh is out to prove that his acting debut was not a fluke.
