Lalit revealed that the most popular song from the film Tujhe Dekha Toh Yeh Jaana Sanam came from Aditya Chopra himself, here's how.
As Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge completes 25 years today, music composer Lalit Pandit of the musical duo Jatin-Lalit in an interview revealed never-heard-before stories from the making of the iconic film.
Lalit revealed that the most popular song from the film Tujhe Dekha Toh Yeh Jaana Sanam came from Aditya Chopra himself.
He said, "The opening line of the song was Adi's. He used to sing these words Tujhe Dekha Toh Yeh Jaana Sanam. We took the start from him and then went on to compose our own song. But yes, the beginning of the song is Adi's."
Speaking about the iconic song from the film 'Na Jaane Mere Dil Ko Kya Ho Gaya', Lalit told SpotBoyE, "This is two different songs fused. The idea of two different tunes coming together came from Aditya Chopra himself. Hats off to that man for the way he thinks. We wondered how we will record two such contrasting sections as one song. During those times there was no digital programming. It was all done live."
He further added, "We had to record the longest rhythm section of our careers.The musicians had to rehearse from 9.30 morning and go on till 11 pm. I think the sound-quality of this song is exceptional. I remember when we were recording the song the musicians got no cue from Lataji, and Lataji also had to sing without any cues from the musician. I gestured to her with my hand when she was singing to give her the cues."
Lalit also spoke about his feelings of being associated with such a historical film. He said, "It’s my brother Jatin and my good fortune to be part of this milestone of a movie. Imagine, a 1000 weeks! Nowadays none of the films celebrate silver jubilees. We used to see plenty of those during the days when our sister Sulakshana Pandit was a leading lady."
