He shared, 'Play was an album that was made as a direct response to the darkest period of my life. Coming out of all of that, I just wanted to create joy and technicolour, and explore cultures in the countries I was touring.' He explicitly mentioned finishing the album in India, adding, 'I made this record all over the world, finished it in Goa, India, and had some of the most fun, explorative creative days of my life.
It's a real rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish, it encapsulates everything that I love about music, and the fun in it, but also where I am in life as a human, a partner, a father.' This suggests a strong "desi" influence woven into his upcoming musical offering.

If Kamal Haasan doesn't apologise by May 30, ‘Thug Life' will not be screened in Karnataka: KFCC
'Many Kannada groups have demanded a ban on his movie. So, we met and discussed the matter, and we've decided that he should apologise. We agree that what he did was wrong, and we are trying to meet and talk to him,' said Narasimhalu. Speaking to reporters after a meeting with the stakeholders from the industry, KFCC president M Narasimhalu, said the chamber office bearers are trying to meet and talk to him. Bengaluru, May 29 (PTI) Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) said on Thursday that it will not allow the release of Kamal Haasan's film 'Thug Life' in Karnataka unless he issues a public apology by May 30 for his controversial remark about the Kannada language. KFCC former president Sa Ra Govindu said if Haasan doesn't apologise by tomorrow, KFCC will not allow the film to be released here. 'We have no sympathy for Kamal Haasan. If he does not issue a public apology today or tomorrow, we will support Kannada activists and will protest fiercely. Under no circumstances will we allow the film's release unless he apologises publicly,' said Govindu. Actor Jayamala, who headed KFCC between 2008 and 2010 said, 'Whenever there is a language controversy, all Kannadigas must unite — that is our duty. Whether Kamal Haasan spoke knowingly or unknowingly, his statement was wrong. Kannada was not born out of Tamil.' She also said there is nothing wrong in expressing regret for a mistake instead of trying to justify it. 'We are trying to talk to him and help him understand that his words were deeply hurtful to Kannadigas. It is his moral responsibility to apologise,' she added. Actor-politician Haasan's recent statement claiming that 'Kannada was born out of Tamil' during a promotional event for his upcoming film 'Thug Life' has sparked widespread outrage among pro-Kannada groups and cultural organisations. The actor on Wednesday clarified that his remarks on Kannada were said out of love and that 'love will never apologise.' PTI EZK JR KH This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.
