Writer, director, and producer Sonu Tyagi expressed grief on the passing of Ghazal legend Pankaj Udhas, who he was in talks with for a collaborative project.
Tyagi, the head of Approach Entertainment, had envisioned a masterpiece with Udhas, aiming to create a timeless musical composition.
Pankaj Udhas, celebrated as a global voice in ghazals, captivated audiences with his emotive performances and lyrical depth. He passed away at age 72 due to pancreatic cancer.
Tyagi, known for his storytelling and poetic finesse, admired Udhas's musical genius and sought to merge their talents in a collaboration that promised to be extraordinary.
Despite Udhas's declining health, Tyagi had reached out to Udhas’s daughter, Nayaab Udhas, to explore the possibility of continuing the collaboration. Undeterred by challenges, Tyagi was determined to realize their shared vision and honor the maestro's legacy.
Tyagi’s creative vision aimed to combine his poignant lyrics with Pankaj Udhas’s soul-stirring vocals in the timeless ghazal “क्या बात है शहर में, मयखाने बहुत है” (What a Sight in the City, Many Taverns Abound). The project, poised to be a poignant reflection of urban life’s complexities, now stands as a reminder of life’s ephemeral nature.
Grieving shattered collaboration dreams, Sonu Tyagi reflects on the missed opportunity to blend his lyrical finesse with Udhas’s unmatched musical prowess.
As the industry mourns the loss of Pankaj Udhas, Sonu Tyagi remained hopeful that Udhas’s timeless music will continue to inspire and resonate with audiences for years to come.
Sonu Tyagi is an award-winning writer/director, who heads Approach Entertainment, a film production and celebrity management company, Approach Communications, a PR & Integrated Communications company, and the charitable spiritual organization Go Spiritual India, focusing on spiritual awareness, philanthropy, spiritual tourism, events, and social causes.
