Aashiqui 2 to retain the 1990 hit “Sason Ki Zaroorat”

Bringing back romantic melodies in a huge way ,T-Series & Vishesh Films with their next venture, the sequel to the 1990 ‘ hit Aashiqui ,promise to not disappoint audiences with the music of the film, that will be reminiscent of the blockbuster album.

In fact the makers have also decided to retain the title song “Sason Ki Zaroorat” from the original album, paying tribute to the film –

Confirms producer Mahesh Bhatt “Nostalgia is a deadly 'drug'. And when a super hit song like this is used to evoke nostalgia it can set the box office ablaze. Our single objective of Aashiqui 2 is make sure that the musical score of this film beats the record created by Aashiqui. I am certain using this track will do that trick.”

Says producer Bhushan Kumar,T-Series “We’ve already recorded many songs for Aashiqui 2 and we’re confident that the audience will enjoy them. But people insisted we bring back at least one song from the original. Using older tracks in films has anyway become a trend.”

In the day and age of remixes, ask the music-honcho if they plan on going the same route with the song and he is quick to reply “‘Sason ki zaroorat’ is a beautiful track. You can’t remix it. But we will recreate it, keeping the lyrics and the basic tune intact. We will rearrange the rhythm and make it more electronic to make it appealing for today’s generation.” adds Kumar.

Directed by Mohit Suri,starring Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor ,T-Series & Vishesh Films musical drama Aashiqui 2 is currently being shot in South Africa.

इमरान का परिपक्व कदम

इमरान खान अपने अभी तक के करियर में पहली बार अपनी मूंछे बढाने वाले हैं और वो भी इसलिए ताकि वो अपने किरदार को एक वास्तविक रूप दे सकें. इमरान खान, मिलन लुथारिया की फ़िल्म वंस अपॉन अ टाईम इन मुम्बई में काम करने वाले हैं जिसमें उनके किरदार की मूंछे हैं और इसी के लिए इमरान ने तय किया कि वो किसी आर्टीफीशियल मूंछों को लगाने के बजाये अपनी ही मूंछे उगायेंगे.

इमरान अभी तक लगभग सभी फिल्मों में एक युवा का ही किरदार निभाते आये हैं और किसी में भी उनकी मूंछें नहीं दिखाई गयी हैं. ये फ़िल्म देखा जाये तो उनके एक युवा से पुरुष बनने की ओर एक कदम है. ये बदलाव सिर्फ उनके फिल्मों में ही नहीं बल्कि निजी ज़िन्दगी में भी आया है. इमरान एक अभिनेता हैं, जब एक अभिनेता के पास विकल्प रहता है किसी चीज़ के चुनाव का और उसमें से वो रियल चीज़ को चुनते हैं तब जा कर वो सही मायने में कलाकार कहलाते हैं. यही चीज़ इमरान ने भी कर दिखाया है. 

इस साल इमरान देसी किरदार निभाते हुए नज़र आयेंगे अपनी आने वाली फ़िल्म मटरू की बिजली का मंदोला और वंस अपॉन अ टाईम इन मुंबई में. पहले उन्होंने कई रोमैंटिक फिल्में की है लेकिन अब वो एकदम देसी अवतार में दिखेंगे. इमरान इस किरदार के लिए पूरी तरह से खुद को तैयार कर रहे हैं. मूंछे भले ही बहुत छोटी सी बात है लेकिन फिर भी इमरान ने इस बात पर जोर डाला कि वो असल में मूंछ रखेंगे. वो अपने किरदार के लिए मोटी मूंछ बढ़ा रहे हैं जो कि आसन काम नहीं है. हालाकि इमरान को इस लुक में देखने के लिए उनके प्रशंसक बेहद उत्सुक होएंगे.
