Recreating songs as tributes or otherwise has become a regular fare in Bollywood and one of the most talked about projects in the industry right now, the Sanjay Dutt biopic might just be going down the same route. If sources are to be believed, the makers are planning to remake the legendary song Kya Yahi Pyar Hai from Sanjay Dutt's debut film, Rocky. Yes, the Lata Mangeshkar-Kishore Kumar duet composed by RD Burman is all set to get a revamp and will be play a very important roll in the narrative of the film.
A source close to the film revealed to the media and said, “Kya Yehi Pyar Hai won’t be about romantic love, but the love for life. The female voice has been completely eliminated and will only have singer Armaan Malik crooning about the love for life as Sanjay Dutt (Ranbir in the movie) goes from one crisis to another. The song will play like a theme track throughout the film.”
Amaal Malik, who will be recreating the song was quoted saying to a leading media house, “Yes, I am doing a new version of Kya Yehi Pyar Hai. But what a huge responsibility this is. This RD Burman song is the baap of romantic duets. To recreate that kind of composition and to get the voice quality of Kishore Kumarji is so difficult. I am not much into remixes, but I had to do this one because a filmmaker like Raju Hirani asked me to and also because it’s a vintage RD number.”
We wish Amaal all the luck for this one and we hope he lives up to the expectations. Stay Tuned to Bollyy for all the freshest updates from the world of entertainment.
