Prashant is responsible for Himesh’s new look and for directing all of Himesh's music videos from his private album Aap Kaa Surroor as well as promotional videos for the movies Aashiq Banaya Aapne, Aksar & Tom, Dick & Harry. The sole reason for him to have become a music director was to fulfill his father’s dream as he had lost his elder brother at the age of 11. Himesh is married to Komal and have a ten year-old son Swayam.

At just 16 years old and before Himesh went into music direction, he produced television serials for Doordarshan, Zee TV which included serials such as Andaz & Amar Prem.

The first big break came when Himeshji approached Salman Khan (who had just made it big with the hit movie Maine Pyar Kiya) who gave Himesh the chance to be a music director for the movie Bandhan along with composer Anand Raj Anand.

He became good friends with Salman Khan, a famous Bollywood actor who starred in the movie, and composed songs for some subsequent movies in which Salman starred. Since then, Himeshji & Salman have had a string of hits for movies such as Pyar Kiya to Darna kya, Ye Hai Jalwa, Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge and the more recent mega blockbuster album Tere Naam.

From this experience, Reshammiya was able to develop his own unique style of composition, based on pop music and catchy techno beats. He also places a particular emphasis on indian melodic hooks to his songs. His most popular album can be said to be Tere Naam. In October 2006, Reshammiya became the first Indian to perform at the Wembley Stadium in London.


With a series of popular film scores, he is considered to be one of the top music directors in Indian cinema today, along with A. R. Rahman and Anu Malik. His music is associated with the youthful and trendsetting culture that has recently been pervasive in India, particularly due to the popularity of the remixes of his songs.

Himesh entered bollywood on 29th June 2007 with the release of his first film ‘Aap Kaa Surroor the moviee: The Real Luv Story’ .The film was released on his mother’s (Mrs. Madhu Reshammiya) birthday & the film has done tremendous success by breaking all box office records to date.

BRAD PITT

A critic once wrote that Brad Pitt combined "the matinee idol looks of Gary Cooper with the sex symbol loveliness of Marilyn Monroe”. This is the line which sums up Pitt’s appeal.
He was born on December 18, 1963, in Shawnee, Oklahoma. Pitt grew up in Springfield (Missouri). He is the eldest of three children in a devoutly Southern Baptist family. His father, Bill Pitt, had a trucking company and his mother, Jane Pitt, was a High school counselor. But he was deeply influenced by his father. "Where I grew up," he once said "you deal. You get through it, power through it, straight up the middle. And you don't complain". It's an attitude that's served him well as he's battled the improbable pressures of stardom. He was raised, alongside brother Doug and sister Julie. Pitt originally wanted to be an advertising art director. That is why he studied journalism at the University of Missouri. However, the young college student had other quiet aspirations, the product of a childhood love of movies, which finally seemed tangible his last semester at university when he realized, "I can leave." On a whim, Pitt dropped out of college, packed up his Datsun, and headed West to pursue an acting career in Los Angeles, just two credits shy of a college degree.

Pitt told his parents he intended to enroll in the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. He joined an acting class and, shortly after, accompanied a classmate as her scene partner on an audition with an agent. In a twist of fate, the agent signed Pitt instead of his classmate. After weathering only seven months in Los Angeles, Pitt had secured an agent and regular acting work.

Pitt made his big screen debut in 1989's horror film Cutting Class with Donovan Leitch, and played a teen track star in Sandy Tung's Across the Tracks, but it was a well-timed bit part in a controversial Hollywood film that pushed him into the glare of instant stardom. Pitt's performance as a renegade, sugar-tongued hitchhiker who gets picked up by the two title characters in Ridley Scott's Thelma and Louise (1991) grabbed universal attention despite only a few minutes worth of screen time.
