Shamir said about the remix songs that it is better if we do not touch some songs and leave them as they are. In our new project on Kishor Kumar, he has revived it while maintaining its soul. He told that while doing this project, he was very afraid that he might do something improper. Then he shared how Asha ji used to come to the studio before time because she used to smell that environment. Shamir told that you should keep music as a companion if that skill is within you. Talking about passion, he said that how far you have to take your passion, it is a personal call, whether you want to take risk or stay in the safety net, its totally up to you.
