Like him or not, you can`t ignore him. Sabir Lodhi is unique. Ok, not unique, but different. Ok, not different but zara hutt ke. I mean people do doubt his originality as an artist but rest assured whatever he does has a Sahir Lodhi stamp on it. Contrary to what people think, I think, he doesn`t copy anyone`s style.
The trailer for his forthcoming film Raasta (the release was delayed due to JJ`s tragic passing away) will give you a fair idea about how differently he does things. Even when he stretches his hands out during a romantic sequence, he makes sure that he doesn`t appear as someone famous from the other side of the Wagah border. If you don`t believe me, watch the trailer, over and over and over. Ok, once will do.
