Bollywood composer-singer Tanishk Bagchi, known for chart-topping remixes like Mere Rashke Qamar, Dilbar, and The Humma Song, has decided to move away from recreations and focus on creating original music.

With his solo soundtrack for the film Sky Force creating strong buzz, Bagchi is now focusing on more single-composer albums.

“After Sky Force, I’m getting more offers for solo projects. Filmmakers now want a consistent sound for the entire film, not just one song,” he told Mumbai Mirror.Bagchi, often labelled the ‘remix king,’ clarified that he never resisted the tag. “Sachin-Jigar and Amit Trivedi did recreations too.

My recreations helped films stand out. But I also made originals like Baarish (Half Girlfriend), Bolna’(Kapoor & Sons), and Ve Maahi (Kesari), and won awards for them. Now people take me seriously,” he said.Talking about how the industry’s preference is now shifting, he said, “I’ve rejected several remix offers in 2024–25. The last one I did was for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. Unless the storyline demands it, like a Hera Pheri sequel, I’m done with remixes. The industry is evolving. Original music is making a comeback. And I’m here for it.”
