Nakash Aziz has been celebrating the acclaim that Rajinikanth's larger-than-life act in Darbar has received. "I rendered two songs in the Hindi version, and one in its Tamil edition. This is the fourth time I have done playback for him," says the singer-composer, whose discography runs for several pages, and cuts across languages. When singing the same song in two distinct languages, Aziz says the melody plays second fiddle. For him, becoming one with those who use the language is important.
"I intend to sound like I mean what I'm saying. That's a challenge because I have to ensure I don't sound like a guy who lives in Mumbai and doesn't understand the language [I'm singing in]. You have to pay heed to the diction so that the local and regional audiences don't find it strange. The trick is to be a good listener and pay heed to what your composer and lyricist tell you," says Aziz, adding that a past stint had him keep his distance from Malayalam numbers, even though he's now willing to give them a go, again.
