Armaan Malik Shares Experience Recording for Nitesh Tiwari's 'Ramayana'

Singer Armaan Malik has discussed his experience contributing to the soundtrack of Nitesh Tiwari's upcoming film 'Ramayana'. The film features a collaborative musical score by A.R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer, marking a significant intersection between Indian classical traditions and global cinematic soundscapes.

Recording 'Mangala Sangama'

Armaan Malik recorded the Kannada track 'Mangala Sangama' for the project, which is the Kannada counterpart to the Hindi song 'Mangal Rang' performed by Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal. The track features vocals by Bela Shende alongside Malik.

Key points regarding the collaboration include:

• Artistic Collaboration: Malik described working on a project involving A.R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer as a "dream come true" and a "surreal" experience.
• Creative Trust: While he recorded the vocals in Mumbai without being physically present with A.R. Rahman, Malik noted that the composer’s trust in his performance served as a significant professional affirmation.
• Language Authenticity: Malik credited the Kannada lyric team and dubbing crews for ensuring his delivery maintained linguistic accuracy and cultural respect.

Connection to Kannada Cinema

Malik highlighted his long-standing bond with Kannada-speaking audiences. He emphasized that the emotional connection he shares with his listeners, through songs like 'Ondu Malebillu', holds greater importance to him than chart performance. He noted that the audience's warm reception makes him feel as though he is part of their community.

Views on Indian Music

Beyond his work on 'Ramayana', Malik expressed pride in the current state of the Indian music industry. He praised the soundtrack of 'Dhurandhar 2' and commented on the growing number of Indian entries submitted for Grammy consideration, advocating for greater global recognition of Indian musical talent.
