Lyricist Kumaar does it in Golmaal way

Lyricist kumaar yet again comes with Golmaal again but this time he rather kept more simple than tricky. "Its always exciting working with Rohit Shetty. We both understand each other so well that i get immense freedom working for him. I have been fortunate to be part of the entire Golmaal series. But this time i thought to keep the songs as simple as a common man's daily routine. If u hear the songs you can feel its line of every person be it hum Nahi sudhrenge or itna sannata or the title track. I didn't try anything different or intelligent. Sometimes i feel too much intelligence fades the innocence. "In this era where multiple composers and lyricist croon music for a movie. Kumaar is trending with multiple composers with one lyricist. Golmaal has multiple composers but kumaar is the solo lyricist. Talking about this the lyricist says,"Being solo lyricist always a bit more responsibility. Previously in the series, i have worked with Vishal Shekhar and Pritam. But this time there were multiple composers so the excitement and fun were more. I enjoy working with new talents. But you need to adjust the temperament and approach of each composer are different so you need to fit in it".

Hollywood actor Mark Ruffalo, who is most popular for his onscreen character the Hulk, will be seen reprising the role of Bruce Banner/the Hulk in the Taika Waititi’s directorial, Thor: Ragnarok.

When asked if the perception of Bollywood cinema being only about song and dance has changed, Ruffalo said, “I saw a cool Bollywood film… A tough guy thing where there are rival gangs…’Scarface’ characters… more like gangster character. I look forward to seeing what more Indian cinema can come up with.” 

But would he like to be a part of one? “Why not? I can’t sing and dance very well, but I can do some of the straight roles,” he said.

When asked about what’s going to be exciting in the movie he said, “Thor: Ragnarok” will see the characters Thor and Hulk battling for the first time. Ruffalo says he has been waiting for this for the past six years. It was great to smash him (Thor). I have been waiting for six years to smash him… It was really fun. People always want to see Thor and Hulk fight and I’ve got to do it in this one.”
