While Harry Baweja goes all -out to launch his son Harman, producer Kumar Mangat isn't leaving any stones unturned for his daughter Amita either. Or should that be, no TONES unturned? On Thursday morning Filmistan studios in Mumbai came alive for an extra spot of shooting for Kumar Mangat's daughter's debut film Haal-e-Dil. The film is complete …shooting over, post-production and editing done. Even the music album has already been released. And yet the producer called for an extra song from the item specialist Pritam Chakraborty at the risk of incurring the soundtrack's composer Vishal Bhardwaj's annoyance. "Yes we're shooting an extra song for Haal-e-Dil. We all felt the film needed a peppy youthful number. The rest of the songs are all ballads. So we asked Pritam to give us a number immediately. Fortunately, he obliged at such a short notice, otherwise we'd have been stuck. The song is being choreographed by Ganesh Acharya on my three lead players Adhyayan Suman, Nakuul Mehta and my daughter Amita at this very moment," said the anxious producer on Thursday. Isn't it unusual to shoot a song after the music release? "Well… not just the young hip item song, we're shooting another song, a love ballad featuring Amita and Adhyayan from June 1 in Leh…just two weeks ahead of release. How will these songs be censored? Oh, the rest of the film will be censored first. We can get the two songs censored later. Amita is my only daughter. And I know she has it in her to make it. My son is not interested in acting. He's going into direction. We've had so many fathers launching their sons. But I think this is the first occasion when a producer-father is launching his daughter. As a father, I've to make sure I leave nothing to chance for Amita. Adding the songs to the film will, we feel, really add to the film." Adds Pritam Chakrabroty, "It was Bhushan Kumar of T Series who asked for an immediate song for Haal-e-Dil. Fortunately, a Bhangra song sung by Labh Janjua (of 'Soni De Nakhre' from Partner) was with me. I had composed it for another film where the Punjabi flavour didn't fit in. Bhushan and Kumar Mangatji loved the song and I had no problems giving it to them." But isn't this stepping into Vishal Bhardwaj's jurisdiction? Says Pritam, "I made the producers get me a NOC before I gave them the song. And besides Vishal, there're two other music composers in Haal-e-Dil. If it was just Vishal I'd have never contributed. I respect him too much to step into his territory." ... read more »
