Mumbai: Noted lyricist Sameer, who has penned songs for Himesh Reshammiya-starrer Karzzz has said that his work in the film is a tribute to legendary songwriter Anand Bakshi.

" Karzzz is very close to my heart as I have devoted my compositions to Anand Bakshi. I draw inspiration from him as I consider him my mentor," Sameer said today.

Karzzz is having a versatile music of frenzy rap-n-reggae which flows to create an engrossing rendezvous for dancing floors, he said.

Himesh Reshammiya, who has as many as over three dozen chart busters to his credit in the last few years, makes a magnificent comeback with this grand musical offering, the lyricist said.

In Karzzz Himesh Reshammiya and Sameer have come together after a long gap.

" Aap Ka Surroor was our last venture together which created much hype among the music listeners. Himesh and I had formed a team. I did some of my finest and the most popular works for Himesh from Tere Naam to Aap Kaa Surroor . But now that he has decided to compose only for his own movies, I have been forced to slow down," he said.

"I am writing the lyrics for Himesh's upcoming films. Kajra Re and A Love Ssssshtory with the latest being Karzzz ," he added.

"In Karzzz , traditional Indian instruments like tabla, sitar, harmonium and sarangi get mellifluously amalgamated with westernised beat patterns. The antraas are sensitively verbatim and are worth hearing," Sameer said.

The free-flowing lyrics are in a composition that reminds of flashy 80's disco era, he said .
