The tale of two songs
- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,December 13 2008]
A reputed advertisement film maker was roped in by Aamir Khan to direct two songs in his forthcoming movie 'Ghajini'.
The two tracks- 'Aye Bachoo' and 'Lattoo' were included as Aamir felt that the movie with all its raw and powerful action scenes need to be mellowed down with some groovy music.
Thus Ravi Udyawar who had worked before with the star for the Samsung 'Next is What?' campaign was selected as the right man to do the job after being recommended by ace cinematographer Ravi K Chandran who knows his style of working well and the producers getting fully satisfied after watching the various commercials that he had made before including the ones for Chevrolet and Limca.
The ad man's job was to visualize and direct two songs in a stylish manner.
Ravi Udyawar says that 'Aye Bachoo' is the song through which Asin is introduced in the movie and the paparazzi is shown getting wild as she appears and walks the red carpet. She is also shown waking the ramp like a supermodel.
A photo shoot session of the actress with men styled up as mafia gang members surrounding her is also there in the song.
The track was shot at the
Jiah who plays a college student in 'Ghajini' is the main element of the song 'Lattoo'.
This song is shown happening in Jiah's college.
Each song took more than a week to get completely canned.
