MUMBAI: For over two decades, Indian Idol has been a stage where extraordinary talent finds recognition, and in an upcoming episode, the spotlight shines on composer Anurag Saikia, a musician whose melodies have left a lasting impression on audiences.
As the show pays tribute to the greatest Rajshri hits, director-producer Sooraj R. Barjatya, who is making his OTT debut with Bada Naam Karenge on Sony LIV, graces the episode along with lead actors Ayesha Kaduskar and Ritik Ghanshani, director Palash Vaswani, and composer Anurag Saikia. During this special moment, Vishal Dadlani, celebrated composer and Indian Idol judge, couldn't help but express his admiration for Anurag’s musical genius.
Anurag Saikia, the man behind deeply evocative compositions, first won hearts with his work on Gullak where his music became an instant favorite. Since then, he has continued to deliver unforgettable melodies, with viral hits like Pipani, Raja Ji, and Ishq Hain. And now, with Bada Naam Karenge, he once again proves his mastery.
Moved by the beauty of his composition for the show's title track, Vishal Dadlani declared on stage:
"We must say out loud that Anurag Saikia is a name you'll remember and hear forever and ever. He is going to do great work. He is one of the most progressive and unique composers of today's time. I am so honored and so happy that you are here today. It's such a beautiful composition, a beautiful song. Thank you for it."
There’s something truly special about a musician being recognized by a fellow artist, and in that moment, the warmth of appreciation and respect was undeniable. Anurag, who has spent years weaving magic through his music, stood humbled and grateful—proof that great music doesn’t just reach ears, it reaches hearts.
