Prasoon Joshi admits that writing lyrics isn't the only challenge he loves while working on movies. He loves to collaborate on the scripts too, as he did with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's ‘Delhi 6’, and ‘Rang De Basanti’. The 37-year-old writer is best known for his lyrics in these films, as well as ‘Ghajini’, ‘Taare Zameen Par’ and ‘Fanaa’. Over eight years ago, he also wrote for the hit music video ‘Mann Ke Manjeere’ produced for a women's advocacy group. The video has reportedly reached over 26 million households via six satellite music television channels across South Asia and North America.
I have been a voracious reader from my childhood. And I think I have been writing ever since I remember. I was producing handwritten magazine and books when I was about ten and perhaps even earlier. Poetry for me is something that also exists outside the film industry. I wrote poems in my teens without ever thinking of films. And that is why I continue creating non-film poems. I wrote a poem not long ago on the terrorist attacks on Mumbai and the poet in me is always looking at the social issues. I like using words that intrigue me and the listeners.
