This Tuesday on New Year’s Eve, #KaunBanegaCrorepati16, hosted by the legendary #AmitabhBachchan, will showcase a special episode with two music legends—Shankar Mahadevan and #GurdasMaan. Gurudas Maan’s performances of Punjabi folk songs will inspire host Amitabh Bachchan to join in with his humorous and endearing renditions, bringing an extra spark to the festivities. Adding to the charm, their light-hearted anecdotes and funny moments promise to make the evening an unforgettable mix of laughter, inspiration, and pure entertainment.

Among the many standout moments of the show is that of an audience member asking Shankar Mahadevan, “You have a song ‘Kajra Re’ that has become a party anthem, loved by everyone. I would love for you to sing it for us. Also, what was going through your mind when you were writing this song?”

Shankar Mahadevan replies, “The success of this song is a result of a collective effort. We, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, had a small part to play, but the biggest contribution comes from the person sitting right in front of me” (points at Amitabh Bachchan). He continues, “Let me share a little story. When we were recording this song in the studio, the beginning tune, the jugalbandi in the lyrics, was entirely Amitabh sir’s idea. I had recorded the rough version of the song in my voice and went to Sir to let him know. I told him that this was just a rough recording in my voice and that a singer would come later to re-record it. Sir asked me, ‘Which singer is coming?’ I said, ‘Whoever it is, they will sing it.’ But Sir said, ‘Khabardaar, no one else can touch this. It will go with your voice.’ That moment, when Sir blessed me with this song, it was the greatest gift I could have received for this song.”

Amitabh Bachchan highlights the magic of the iconic Kajra Re song, sharing his admiration for Shankar Mahadevan’s rendition. With warmth and reverence, Amitabh states, “Kajra Re is a song that can only be sung by Shankar and no one else.”

Don’t miss the chance to see this special musical moment unfold. Tune in this Friday at 9 PM, only on Sony Entertainment Television.

Gurdas Maan reminisces about his cameo in ‘Veer-Zaara’!

CineBuster Online | Updated — Thu, 12 Sep 2024 18:50:07 +0000

Punjabi music legend Gurdas Maan, has shared his memories of working on the songs ‘#AisaDesHaiMera’ and ‘#Lohri’ from the #ShahRukhKhan- #PreityZinta starrer ‘#VeerZaara’.

The music icon crooned both the songs, and even made a cameo appearance in ‘Aisa Des Hai Mera’ as he did Bhangra with Shah Rukh Khan. The singer said that the cameo wasn’t planned and it was at the insistence of the late filmmaker Yash Chopra that he featured in the song.

Gurdas Maan reminisces about his cameo in Veer-Zaara saying, “The film ‘Veer-Zaara’ and the songs ‘Aisa Des Hai Mera’ and ‘Lohri’ are very close to my heart. One of my fondest memories is how it all came together. At the time, I was shooting for my film ‘Des Hoya Pardes’ in Chandigarh, and Veer-Zaara was also being filmed. Yash Ji and I were staying in the same hotel”.

He further mentioned, “I had already recorded the song ‘Lohri’ and parts of ‘Aisa Des Hai Mera’ (the Mukhda and Jugni portions), when one day Yash ji, told me that they were about to shoot the song ‘Aisa Des hai Mera’ and since I was there, and I had lent my voice to the song, why not appear in it as well? That’s when I paused my own film’s shoot (Des Hoyaa Pardes) and joined the shoot for ‘Veer-Zaara’. It was such a beautiful moment to be part of a song that represents our country’s soul.”

‘Veer-Zaara’ is set to re- release in theatres on 13th September, nearly 20 years after its original release. The film is remembered for its heartwarming songs and the timeless lovestory. On the professional front, Gurdas Maan has just released the first track, “Main Hi Jhoothi,” from his album Sound Of Soil, with the remaining eight songs to be unveiled soon. Maan is also looking forward to his upcoming USA tour.
