From multiplex mogul to singer: Life comes full circle for PVR INOX chief Ajay Bijli

economictimes.indiatimes.com:

college band and a love for music he says he left behind to handle the family business but when life gave him a chance to pursue his teen passion he grasped it eagerly — and today Ajay Bijli, PVR INOX managing director, can be heard crooning a song in «Dunki». Bijli started with covers of the songs that he likes in English and Hindi during the COVID-19 pandemic.
He then decided to take things to the next level by singing an original track and it resulted in «Waheguru, Ik Onkar», a spiritual number that features prominently in Shah Rukh Khan's new release «Dunki» and is also available on T-series as a music video.

«It is a passion project and I hope that when people listen to the song, it helps them. I am not a religious guru or anything. I am just singing a song that resonated with me.

It's a prayer and has different meanings and interpretations for different people. I hope it touches people's hearts,» Bijli told PTI in an interview.
Shot in the scenic Pathar Sahib Gurudwara near Leh, Ladakh, the video is directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra with Sheykhar Ravjiani attached as the composer and Ravi Verman as the cinematographer.

Bijli, who is a regular with his 'riyaz' (practice) and has been taking music lessons from a guru, said he always had a love for singing.
«I have been very fond of music right from the beginning. I had a band in college called Modus Operandi but in 1988 when I finished college, the band also finished because I started work in my transport company and then my love for cinema started in 1990,» he said.
