Composers Vishal-Sheykhar Claim That Kumaar, The Author Of 'Besharam Rang,' Is A Genius

Two weeks after Pathaan's theatrical debut, the Shah Rukh Khan-starring film is still doing well at the box office. In addition to being an action thriller, the movie garnered media attention for its song "Besharam Rang." Musicians Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Ravjiani spoke out about the song while discussing it. Vishal-Sheykhar also praised lyricist Kumaar for creating a brilliantly poetic song, calling him a genius.

All of this started when the duo was asked to explain how they arrived at the song's title, "Besharam Rang." Giving credit to Kumaar, Vishal remarked, “Kumaar is the only lyricist in this business, who doesn’t write. Woh aap ko bolte hai mai jo bol raha hu likho. Aur agar woh aapney nahi likha samay par, toh woh gaya (He asks others to write, and if, by any chance, you miss it, it’s gone).” Shekhar responded, “He is genuinely the most spontaneous and natural lyricist. Sometimes he says something and leaves the room. Then, we look at each other and ask does he even know what he just wrote.” When mentioned that Kumaar is a humble person, Vishal immediately said, “He has to be humble because he doesn’t know how he does it. If someone does it with a thought process, they are a genius. But someone like him is a wanderer. He is connected to the higher force and he is totally spiritual.” Speaking of the Deepika Padukone song, "Besharam Rang," was filmed in Spain. It has Shilpa Rao as the singer and Vaibhavi Merchant as the choreographer.
