Ever since he shifted base from Mumbai to London and later relocated to Dubai 18 years ago, music composer Nadeem Saifee (often referred to as the more flamboyant of the Nadeem-Shravan duo) has been tempted by filmmakers like Mahesh Bhatt and Guddu Dhanoa to return to Bollywood. However, for reasons best known to him, he didn't give the nod. Now, Nadeem has bitten the bait. He has just finished composing the tracks of Friday Cine Entertainment's Ishq Forever, a romantic film featuring newcomer Krishna Chaturvedi in the lead.The female lead is yet to be finalised. The movie is produced by Ajay Shah, Shabbir Boxwala and Harry Gandhi, and is directed by Sanjay Dayma.

Says Nadeem, “After you've composed for films like Phool Aur Kaante that ran for 100 weeks, Dilwale that ran for 75 weeks, and have had 50 golden and silver jubilee releases, there is nothing left to prove. But if music is coursing through your veins, then you can provide a lifelong high to those who seek it. And I'm extremely glad that Shabbir managed to tempt me.“ The album will have six tracks and Nadeem is confident that the music will validate the fact that he never really left Hindi cinema. “Melody and romance should return with this album of mine,“ he promises, before ending the conversation.
