The documentary has been branded as a “hatched job riddled with falsehoods” by Allen and Soon-Yi.

Shaan: People have stopped listening to film songs

People no longer listen to film songs, feels Shaan, who has done playback duty in Bollywood for over a couple of decades.

“People have stopped listening to film songs these days. Film songs are not enjoying the popularity they used to in earlier times. When we used to sing playback regularly, people would listen to film songs and discuss them. These days, maybe one song from a big film, that too which has been heavily publicized — only that people listen to,” Shaan told IANS.

Is this why he is not much into playback music these days? “As I said people don’t listen. In the past year, I’ve recorded four songs that nobody knows about. Also, new singers are coming up. When I was new, seniors made way for me. Similarly now, I’ll have to make way for the new generation. You can’t be there forever. But I’ve sung for a long time and I’m grateful for that,” replied Shaan.

Netizens often complain that good original songs are no longer made in Bollywood. Shaan takes a pragmatic view on the subject.

“It’s easy to say that we liked the music then but we don’t like the music now. But I cannot give you the same music now because you will say that I would listen to that only. The point is, what is it that you don’t like or enjoy in today’s music? The lyrics, the beat, or the tune? As long as a song has good lyrics, melody, rhythm, and tune, you are going to like it,” explained Shaan.

Any suggestions for youngsters trying their luck in Bollywood playback singing?

“Forget playback singing. Playback is not the way it used to be. Songs come in the background these days just like in international films. You’ll have a better chance of getting a hit in a non-film original song that you are singing. The golden phase of playback is gone. If you want to be a singer, you should have something that is your USP. Also, it is important to understand the pulse of the young generation, what kind of music they enjoy,” suggested Shaan.

Shaan is currently associated with Zee TV’s latest music reality show “Indian Pro Music League”. Talking about the same, he shared: “IPML is a music show with a game show format. It’s a competitive and entertaining show which celebrates music. Every team will try to bring something new to the table. I hope people will enjoy the whole new musical approach which this show will bring out.”

John Altman: I wouldn’t want to be a writer on EastEnders

Actor-singer John Altman, who played the role of Nick Cotton on the show EastEnders, says the writers’ job on the show was challenging because it is tough to develop new storylines year after year.

“It’s hard. I wouldn’t want to be a writer on it, to come up with something that hasn’t been repeated before — like a murder, a divorce, drug addiction, burglary. You can’t avoid repeating old storylines with different characters,” he says, according to femalefirst.co.uk.

However, Altman is confident that the long-running show will be on air for years. In fact, he admits that he is still earning money from the repeat episodes.

“Back in the early days, ‘EastEnders’ used to have an omnibus every Sunday and we’d receive 80 percent of our original fee. Very nice! Last year I got about £25 for some old repeated episodes of ‘EastEnders’!” The Sun reported Altman as saying.

Meanwhile, Altman recently released his album, Never Too Late To Rock And Roll, and also has a new single, Looking For The Love Of My Life.
