Shah Rukh Khan launches “Saans”

After successfully impressing the audiences with their first track “Challa”, the next song that has gone viral is the new romantic number “Saans”. Launched by none other than Shah Rukh Khan himself, on the 9^th of October 2012, the track is slow and sensuous, featuring him and Katrina in a romantic avatar for the first time. The King of Romance aptly described the song as the breath of love in an exclusive launch at Taj Lands End, Mumbai.

Composed by grand maestro A.R. Rahman and vocals by Shreya Ghoshal and Mohit Chauhan, the song is indeed a delight. The cherry on the cake is the lyrics by the eminent Gulzaar Sahab. “Saans” is in true sense, a fresh breath of air for the romantic audience.

Behind The Scenes - "Saathiya"

For the authentic look, Director, Shaad Ali shot on the roads, railway stations and local trains, during Mumbai’s rush hours. Vivek had to run on the railway tracks screaming, “Suhani” and people would push him away yelling, “Are you mad… move away, there is a train coming”. Once, Vivek was meant to get into a train, as it came into the station, and get off before the train left the station. He didn’t manage to get off on time, and reached the next station, and was caught by the Ticket Checker.

Here's an exclusive song from the movie -  

Yash Chopra - 50 years and counting!

The eternal romantic teams up with the king of romance once again.

As already announced, Yash Chopra's next directorial venture stars the king of romance, Shahrukh Khan. As Yashji put it earlier, "Everyone knows that when I make a movie, Shahrukh will be involved with it. He is like family to YRF and I have always regarded him as one of my own."
However, after days of media conjecturing, we are happy to confirm that the two ladies, who will also be a part of this project, are Katrina Kaif, who will be playing a role opposite Shahrukh for the very first time, and Anushka Sharma, who was launched in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, alongside Shahrukh.
Orchestrated by Yash Chopra, this untitled movie will mark the coming together yet again of the award winning duo of the music maestro A. R. Rahman and the poet & lyricist, Gulzar.
When we spoke with him, he shared some of his thoughts with us.
"It's been 7 years since I directed Veer-Zaara and as I begin work on my new film I hear my inner voice asking me a lot of questions. Are you sure you want to direct again, you are nearly 80 years old and the audience is getting younger day by day. Can I really speak from my heart and still expect today's youth to listen to me? Will I be able to live up to the blind faith that Shahrukh Khan has in me and give him yet another memorable romantic film? Will I be able to present the beautiful Katrina Kaif and the very talented Anushka Sharma in a way they have never been seen before? Will I be able to inspire Rahman and Gulzar Bhai enough to create their best work yet?
The honest answer is I DON'T KNOW! All I know is that I'm making a film that I believe in, a film that is about love and nothing else. A film which has an old soul but a young heart. A film which is classic in its look but contemporary in its language. A film which I'm making on one simple faith... the love that my audiences have given to me over the years. They have tolerated my indulgences for the past 50 years, I'm sure they will indulge me one more time."
The film is scheduled for a Diwali 2012 release, the festive time when Yash Chopra movies over the years have lit up homes worldwide.
Yashji, it's nice to have you back in the Director's Chair!

It's going to be a sheer poetry of Romance!

After the announcement of Yash Chopra's collaboration for his next directorial venture with music maestro A. R. Rahman, comes the news that Gulzar will join in to complete the musical ensemble.

"Though he has been associated with Yash Raj Films earlier, this is the first time that I will be working alongside Gulzarbhai", said Yash Chopra. "I am looking forward to some brilliant poetry, which I am personally very fond of. It will also be a privilege working with the award winning pair of A. R. Rahman and Gulzarbhai and making some wonderful and meaningful music."

When we spoke to Gulzar, he was equally thrilled. "Yashji is someone who understands poetry and has probably redefined the poetry of romance through the music of his movies. There is a sense of excitement and anticipation in working with him."

For the rest of us, we can look forward to some soulful bliss.
