Light from
the time Nadeem-Shravan made waves with Aashiqui, the spotlight had been
on Nadeem, who constantly hogged the limelight with his impulsive outbursts,
and contoversial statements. Shravan, on the other hand, was the quiet partner,
content to be in the shadow of Nadeem, seconding his statements, and
concentrating on work. The duo were going through the best phase of their
career, hitting a new high with a series of hits and some great compositions
in Subhash Ghais Pardes (for which they won the Screen Videocon award),
when a sudden twist of fate turned things topsy-turvy for them. Nadeem was
implicated in the Gulshan Kumar murder case while holidaying in London. Left
to fend for himself, Shravan has been keeping a low-profile, trying to complete
music for films he had signed with Nadeem earlier. Meanwhile, the duo's name
has been deleted from the recently released musicassettes of ABCL's Saat
Rang Ke Sapne, and they have been replaced by Anu Malik in Haseena Maan
Jayegi.
At the
crossroads of his life, the otherwise quiet composer, talked to Screen about
his future plans, diplomatically warding off the controversial questions.
All through the interview, Shravan kept referring to himself in plural, and
insisted that the credits would always have the name as Nadeem-Shravan, proving
that he has yet to come to terms with the absence of his boisterous
partner.
