'Aap Kaa Surroor' is Himesh's gift to mom

Composer-singer Himesh Reshammiya has dedicated his first film "Aap Kaa Surroor", releasing Friday, to his mother and says it is a son's gift to the most important woman in his life. He is releasing the film on his mother's birthday.

"That's right. June 29 is my mother's birthday. I've timed the release of 'Aap Kaa Surroor' to coincide with my mother's birthday. It's a son's gift to the most important woman in his life. That's why I don't mind if two other big films are being released. My film has my mother's blessings," Himesh told IANS.

Anil Sharma's "Apne" starring the three Deols - Dharmendra, Sunny and Bobby - and Mohit Suri's "Awarapan" are releasing with Himesh's debut vehicle.

A lot has been written and said about Himesh's relationship with his composer father Vipin Reshammiya. In fact, recently the senior Reshammiya came on television to share screen space with his son on Zee TV's talent contest "Sa Re Ga Ma Pa". For the first time in public, Himesh broke down and wept like a baby.

"Everything I know about music I have learnt from my dad. Today I'm living out his dreams. My success is for him more than for myself."

What about this rare show of emotion in public?

"In my movie debut 'Aap Kaa Surroor', I not only cry, I also laugh. People seem to think I'm not capable of showing emotions in public. It's nothing like that. I do cry and I do express emotions. And the film will prove it. I'm specially emotional about my parents."
