Vivek Oberoi Gives Break To Music Director Duo

Way back in 1998, Salman Khan took a step that struck a high note, in terms of tunes, that is. The irrepressible Khan gave a break to composer duo Sajid-Wajid with Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya.

Now 14 years later, the duo’s nephews Amjad-Nadeem have been roped in to compose music for Vivek Oberoi’s Zilla Ghaziabad and Kismat Luv Paisa Dilli (KLPD), that too at the actor’s insistence. Lyricist Shabbir Ahmed has been roped in as well to pen the songs.

A source close to the actor says, “Vivek was very impressed when he heard Amjad-Nadeem’s songs. He asked them to compose a few more songs and when he heard those as well, he decided to help them bag their first project.

Vivek, who at present is shooting for KLPD, produced by Amit Chandrra and Krishan Chaudhary of Delhi-based Shrishti Cine Entertainment confirms, “Yes, Amjad-Nadeem are composing music for KLPD and Zilla Ghaziabad. They are really talented and if I have the means to promote new talent then why not?”

Clearly, Sajid-Wajid are grateful to Vivek for giving their nephews a break, “They met Vivek at a party few days ago and were thanking him for giving Amjad-Nadeem a break,” says a source.

Vivek further adds that he has been trying to promote other musicians as well, “They come to me, I listen to their work and if I like the songs I keep them in my Vivek Oberoi song bank. Whenever I feel a film has situations for such songs, I give it to the makers. I have given Amit Chandrra a few songs as well.” Source
