Karan Johar adds an emotional touch to ‘Hasee Toh Phasee’ through ‘Zehnaseeb’.
Known
to be creatively involved in projects both as a director and
producer,Karan Johar this time around was keen on adding a signature
emotional touch to Dharma Productions and Phantom Films' Hasee Toh
Phasee with the romantic-melody Zehnaseeb.
Confirming
the news, director Vinil Matthew said, “The song is called 'Zehnaseeb'
and it has been penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya. It's an emotional song,
which explores the beautiful moments between the lead actors Sidharth
Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra in the film. Karan was very keen on having
this track in the album. Initially, Shekhar (Ravjiani) had sung the
acoustic version as it was meant to be a solo number. But later we roped
in Chinmayi Sripada to lend her voice too as we decided we wanted it to
be a duet.”
A
source attached to the film said, “The song 'Zehnaseeb' is very close
to Karan's heart. He wanted it to be in the film and brainstormed with
the director and music composer to devise it in a certain way. He also
went to the studio when the song was being recorded as he was quite
enthusiastic about the song."
Says producer Karan Johar, “'Zahnaseeb
is one of the most feel good love songs I have heard...very few love
songs have the melody...the lyrical value and the soul..this is that
beautiful blend."
