'Himesh is a perfect item boy'



Satish Kaushik who's currently confined to bed after a surgery plans to ask his new blue-eyed hero Himesh Reshammiya to compose a promotional song for Kaushik's teen romance Tere Sang.

"Tere Sang needs a promotional prop. And who better able to provide it than Himesh?

Coincidentally both me and my Tere Sang hero Ruslaan Mumtaz are currently confined to bed. He's so accident prone. While we were shooting Tere Sang he fell off the bicycle and had a serious injury.

Now he has torn a ligament in his knee while I am recovering from a minor surgery. This is a good time for me to work on the music of our film."

Satish Kaushik who has just returned from 35 days of shooting with Himesh Reshammiya and Urmila Matondkar for Karzzzz in South Africa can't stop praising his two stars.

"They're such professionals and so clued in to the technicalities of cinema. I was amazed by Himesh's ability to deliver long dialogues with the right pauses for breath and punctutation.

This rhythm in the speech patterns is generally lacking in our film actors. The last time I saw an actor convey the same rhythm in speech was that other singer-actor Kishore Kumar."

As for Urmila, "The last time I worked with her was when I was assisting Shekhar Kapoor for Masoom. She was just a child then.

In-between we were supposed to do a full-on masala film called Bus Conductor. But she opted out. Now for Karzzz she's so passionately involved."

Satish now gets ready to shoot what he calls an ultra-romantic song with Urmila and Himesh titled 'Tandoori Nights.'

"It's sung by Sunidhi Chauhan and Himesh. I'll shoot it out as soon as I'm out of bed," declares Satish. "It'll take me some time to recover.And then I go straight into a long schedule of Karzzz in Mumbai. And then we're done."
