Himesh carries Radio look into music reality show
As the theatrical release of Radio, his third film as a lead actor, approaches its release, Himesh Reshammiya appears to be quite attached to the short hair look that he is sporting in the urban contemporary romantic tale. Buoyed by the response�he has fetched for the look that has been a gradual progression from his Aap Kaa Surroor and Karzzzz days, Himesh has now taken it forward into a TV reality show as well.
The musical show, 'Music Ka Maha Muqabla', would be on air soon.
Says Himesh, "I have sported a casual look in Radio since it goes perfectly well with the role of the VJ that I play in it. Since the response so far has been quite positive to it, I thought it would be a good idea to stick to it for TV as well."
His reasoning does make sense, since this is also expected to aid the promotion of the film which is just a fortnight away.
Conceptualized by Gajendra Singh, who has many successful TV shows to his credit ever since satellite channels began, 'Music Ka Maha Muqabla' has excited Himesh due to its concept and the treatment that has been designed.
"It's like a musical sport�akin to one-day cricket," he says. "There are�six captains with each of them leading a team of contestants, all of whom perform for their respective captain and teams. I am sure the show will break all records in terms of TRPs."
Other than Himesh, the other five captains are Shankar Mahadevan, Shaan, Mohit Chauhan, Mika and Sunidhi Chauhan.
There have also been murmurs in�trade circles that he has charged as much as Rs. 8 crores for participating in the show which requires shooting for only 20 days.
Refusing to comment on�his remuneration�from the show, Himesh is quite happy to discuss the economics of Radio instead. "I am very happy that the producer of Radio as already made a good profit. Moreover, the music is a super hit as well. I will be a happier man though if people appreciate the film and my performance."
Starring Sonal Sehgal and Shenaz Treasurywala as the leading ladies, Radio, directed by Ishaan Trivedi, is�releasing on 3rd December.
