Imaad Shah turns Music Director

Naseeruddin Shah's elder son Imaad Shah, who acted in films like Dil Dosti Etc and Little Zizou will soon be seen in a psychological thriller 404. Interestingly Imaad not only acts in the movie but also makes his debut as a music director.


IImaad Shah, who gave a live performance at the music release of 404 on April 15, 2011 also has his own band - The Pulp Society. He told a news daily that his approach to composing for 404 was just to stick to his own sound and music that he been making, which is very punk and disco style. The songs are very varied, but there is a very strong influence of old school punk.

Thematically they had to stick to the theme of the film, hostel, college, ragging and other dark themes. So he's kept both - the film's theme and what he wanted to add.

An excited Imaad further informed that the lyrics of 404 have dirty and real Hindi lyrics. He told a news daily that there are a lot of phrases and lines, which one hears everyday, adding that members from his band The Pulp Society have also collaborated with him.

Speaking about Bollywood music, Imaad feels that songs from the past couple of decades have been very repetitive. But now, people are fusing different kind of sounds with Hindi film music.

Imaad is now getting ready to travel to Patna, Bengaluru, Delhi and Chennai with his father’s theatre group, Motley, besides readying for a few performances next month with his band The Pulp Society.
