Hrithik Roshan To Feature In A Single
| |||||
Saturday, 4th July 2015, 2:38 PM IST We all know that Hrithik Roshan is a great dancer. And now, for the first time, the superstar will be seen in a single. It is learnt that Hrithik has given his nod to dance in a recreated version of the cult song `Dheere Dheere Se' from the 1990 super hit flick ‘Aashiqui’ which was produced by Gulshan Kumar. The original track was composed by Nadeem Shravan and sung by Kumar Sanu. However, the recreated version has been composed and sung by Yo Yo Honey Singh. Talking about the single, Bhushan Kumar, son of Gulshan Kumar, said, “I was just 12 then in 1990, when I was mad about the music of Salman Khan's ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’. In those days, the trend was to release film music months in advance and so, ‘Aashiqui’ music too was released four months before the release of the film. Since my father Gulshan Kumar had produced the film, we had access to the music much before it was in the market. I remember whenever I went with papa in his car, I would take my favourite cassette and play it. So I started playing ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ that was not our music, but of a competitor. Papa gave me the ‘Aashiqui’ cassette and told me, ‘Listen to this. This is from our film'. I started hearing it and till today, that album remains on my playlist. I remember him telling me that his most favourite song ever was `Dheere Dheere Se'. Papa died in 1997. When Yo Yo Honey Singh met me for the first time, he told me how he respected my father so much and he had dreamt of one day working with him. He had read somewhere that `Dheere Dheere Se' was my father's favourite song and said that he wanted to recreate it for him and that too for free, even though he otherwise charges a huge amount. He started the work but then fell ill last year. During his illness, I met him three times at his house. I met him first time, then second time during my sister's wedding, but it was on my third visit only, when Honey was feeling much better and had started composing again, that I asked him if he felt comfortable to finish the song, as I wanted to pay a tribute to my father as ‘Aashiqui’ completes 25 years. And Honey completed the song. I then went to Hrithik Roshan, who was my first choice to dance on the single. I made him listen to the song without telling him the purpose for which I was making it. He loved it, but didn't see the reason why he should dance to an old recreated song, given that Hrithik has never ever been part of a single song video. I then told Hrithik my reasons for making it and within a second he said, `I am doing it for Gulshanji. That will be my only reason to dance to it.'” The superstar will shoot the video in the next couple of days in Turkey and then it will be released soon.
