Bappi Lahiri is blissfully lodged in the  US  with two of his songs being featured prominently in two of the most talked-about films in recent times.

Speaking from LA,  Bappida says, “I am here because two of my songs Shona in the Disney film Moana and Come Closer in the  film Lion were contained in films  nominated for Golden Globes. And now these two films are up for Oscars. My songs in these films are being noticed and talked about here in the US.”

Bappida adds, “My association with the international charts started long back, in 2002 when an American band named Truth Hurts used a riff from my song Kaliyon Ka Chaman. In recent times, my song Jimmy Jimmy from Disco Dancer was used in the Adam Sandler movie You Don’t Mess With The Zohan and now another of my songs Come Closer from Mithun Chakraborty’s film Kasam Paida Karne Wale Ki has been used in the Nicole Kidman film Lion. I feel honoured.”

The composer says he is happy that so many of his songs are being re-mixed. But it’s original tracks that he most enjoys doing the most. “I loved re-doing my own Come Closer in Lion. But I enjoyed composing the original track Shona on Moana more, maybe because it was all about loving everything golden and I am know for my love of gold ornaments. Again, in the forthcoming Karan Johar film Badrinath Ki Dulhania they’ve re-mixed my old hit Tamma Tamma, which  I sang for Sanjay Dutt 28 years ago, and now for Varun Dhawan. I can’t get luckier than this.”
