Hesham Abdul Wahab, the music composer whose name movie buffs would immediately associate with the Malayalam musical Hridayam, does not limit himself to a recording studio to work. The composer who is making his debut in Telugu cinema with director Shiva Nirvana’s romance drama Kushi starring Vijay Deverakonda and Samantha Ruth Prabhu says, “I tell my assistants that those days of composing in isolation in a recording studio are over; only a small section of composers work that way today.” Hesham, who is also on board for Shouryuv’s debut film starring Nani and Mrunal Thakur and Sriram Adittya’s film with Sharwanand, took time out for an interview during his brief visit to Hyderabad recently.
“I barely slept the past week with all the travelling,” he says, having returned from Mumbai where he was on the sets of Nani’s film. In Hyderabad, his schedule includes watching the rushes of Sharwanand’s film and fine-tuning the work for Kushi.
