Tubelight wasn't an easy album to compose, says Pritam

Pritam has previously worked with Kabir Khan and Salman Khan in the duo's last blockbuster Bajrangi Bhaijaan, where he rendered songs like Tu Jo Mila and Tu Chahiye.

With Tubelight, Pritam gave the audience a variety of songs like Radio or a soulful melody like Tinka Tinka Dil Mera.

But Tubelight’s album is not one that came easy to Pritam. In fact, he said it was one of the most challenging albums he has composed.

“Tubelight wasn’t an easy album to compose. There were a lot of challenges that I had to overcome. The songs in Tubelight are very situational and the situations were bigger than the song. So the songs had to be such that they complement the situations and don’t overpower them,” said he.

Talking about the composition and melodies, Pritam added, “The film is set in the 1960’s and it was very important for me to keep the essence of the melodies and the notes in that era. I couldn’t use modern notes while composing the songs. Also the songs couldn’t be macho or cool because of the character Salman plays in the film. Salman plays a character who is sweet and cute and the music had to be such too!”
