Here is Badshah, break ke baad. The rapper and music composer had taken a short break to be with his daughter, Jessemy, spent time with her, enjoy the duties and fun part of being a new father. Though he comes back with the same creative streak, with more enthusiasm, something still seems to have changed. 

“Well, my priorities seem to have changed, I am more focused, more responsible and more passionate,” he shrugs his shoulders.

We give it to him; after all being a father is a moment of joy. In fact, Badshah has one more reason to party; he is ranked 35 on the Forbes India Celebrity 100 list. Time to celebrate? “I haven’t got the time to do that, but I will soon.”

Someone must be doing everything right to secure a place in this list. He shrugs his shoulders again, “I am making music, the one thing that I am good at. But yes, I am making music which is different in terms of the entire outlook. None of my songs, be it Abhi Toh Party Shuru Hui Hai, Chul, Mercy or Wakhra Swag, are similar to each other.”

It is be tough to be reinventing oneself, with each new number. So, what works for Badshah in this case is his gut feel. “See, we all know that two plus two is four in mathematics, but the scenario is not the same in music. I am pretty nervous when I make a new track, I give my best but then I never know how people would take it. For instance, when I made Punjabi track Wakhra Swag, I doubted whether it would run or not and the same holds true for my track Mercy, but both, like other tracks, had received a great response.” 

This is because of the Badshah style, that one Badshah element. “I don’t, no matter how much I say or try, there will be some bit of my style in whatever song I make, which I think is natural.”

And it is also natural to venture into acting! Punjabi films? “Ek baar lalach hua that apne aap ko screen pe dekhney ka, but then I thought, I would do what I am good at, making music,” offers Badshah. 

Since he is not acting for the moment, it doesn’t mean he is not doing anything related to acting. The rapper is opening his production house in Mumbai soon. 

“Ardaas, the Punjabi film that I produced did pretty well, so I am encouraged to make more films. I have a set up in Mumbai already. And besides this, I will be giving music in web series too.” For Badshah, we bet abhi toh party shuru hui hai!
