He said that he was a fantastic composer and a very good person.
“We have developed a good tuning, he never said not to me for anything.
He will do what I say.
He gave super hit songs in each film.
He is one of the best people in this industry without ego.
I know him since when he doesn’t have a big film.
We collaborated on the film Multi-Starrer ‘Hathkadi’ which was my first big film.
We have never looked back after this film and proceeded to do several films like ‘Ilzaam’, ‘Aag Hi Aag’, ‘Paap Ki Dunya’, ‘Aag Ka Gola’, Mitti Aur Sona ”, he said.
Nihalani further revealed that BAPPI DA did not need much time to write songs.
He stated, “For a certain situation, he has an extraordinary rhythm for songs.
All my songs with him are finished in one sitting.
The song ‘Laal Dupatte Guardian’ of ‘Aankhein’ …
Mather Mein Mein Gaana Tire Style Tha.
There was a red dupatta lying down, so Indeeevar compiled the song, and Bappi Quikcly came in a tone.
It barely took it anytime to give a superhit song.
Once, Govinda and I landed at Bappi’s house at 1pm, we asked Indeevar to join us to sit down.
At 4 am we left after the song ‘Bade Kaam Bandar’ was made.
He is a very smart, very sharp artist.
He won’t give time to think.
I want the songs at once.
Such tuning with Bappi Lahiri.
”

He further revealed, “Most of my films have a combination of LATA JI and BAPPI DA.
‘Milne SE Pehle’ from ‘Aag Hi Aag’, ‘Bandhan Tocote Na’ from ‘Bandhan’, ‘Ga Mere Sang’ from ‘Gunahon Ka Faisla’, all songs from ‘Love Letter’ are some of our best works.
