Anand Raaj Anand: 'I Never Left Music'
19 Jun
Summary
- Anand Raaj Anand returns to the 'Welcome' franchise after 19 years.
- His 2007 hit song 'Uncha Lamba Kad' is recreated for 'Welcome To The Jungle'.
- The composer feels he was in a creative zone, not absent from music.

Music composer Anand Raaj Anand expressed his delight at being associated with the "Welcome" franchise once again. He feels the title "Welcome" itself is a signature in his life and is overwhelmed by the affection he has received. Anand believes he never truly went away, having been in a "creative zone" rather than an "execution zone" during his time away.
He shared that the fact his 2007 song "Uncha Lamba Kad" is still resonating with audiences and being used in reels is incredibly satisfying. Anand recalled an urgent midnight call to compose three songs in just 15 days for the original "Welcome" film, which ultimately became historic hits.
Anand also expressed gratitude to actor Akshay Kumar and the "Welcome" team for bringing back "Uncha Lamba Kad" in a new avatar. He attributes this success to mutual trust and belief in creating memorable music, describing the experience as nostalgic and exciting.
