Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta thinks big. And when his creative energies received inputs from producer Rakesh Roshan also known for serving up blockbusters, things got better. That is exactly what happened in Kaabil directed by Gupta.
After legendary dance songs like Ishg Samundar, Maahi Ve, Saki Saki, Babli Badmash Gupta returns with Sara Zamaana in Kaabil.
The creative team has remixed Amitabh Bachchan’s evergreen number Saara Zamana Haseenon Ka Deewana (Yaarana, 1981) sung in the inimitable voice of Kishore Kumar, albeit with a twist.
Says Gupta, “In our version the song will be sung by a female playback singer and picturised in the most ostentatious and imaginative way on Urvashi Rautela. Those who recall Mr Bachchan’s outfit in the song will remember that his outfit had countless light bulbs on it. And even today when you watch it play it has that jaw-dropping effect. Not to be left out, we are attempting something close. On the weekend we had booked every single light that was available for shooting to create a similar impact on our set at Filmistan Studios. A huge dome was erected and Urvashi sizzled like never before.”
Says producer rakesh roshan “The Saara Zamaana set was breathtaking with lights everywhere, an extravagant dance set! But when Urvashi walked in, her grace, poise and energy lit the set up more than the lights and she recreated the magic of the song effortlessly!”
