Choli Ke... gets a Rahman twist- Buzz18 Entertainment
AR Rahman's association with
Subhash Ghai continues in more ways than one. While the composer has been giving the soundtrack for most of Ghai's recent projects, he is all set to pay a tribute to one of the showman's biggest blockbusters.
We are talking about the smash hit
Madhuri Dixit number
Choli Ke Peeche from
Khal Nayak. Released way back in 1993, the song had not only created waves on the music charts, but had attracted a fair share of controversy thanks to its suggestive lyrics and choreography.
More than a decade later, Rahman will reworking the number for Danny Boyle's
Slumdog Millionaire. According to a report in the
Mumbai Mirror, Ghai is aware of the experiment but the original composer Pyarelal (of the Laxmikant-Pyarelal duo) is not.
Rahman says, "The song fitted the mood of the film. It represents the frentic pace, the colour and swirl of the early 90s". The re-recorded version has been composed with the original voices of Ila Arun and Alka Yagnik.
Rahman adds that the success of
Slumndog Millionaire will have positive effects on Indian tourism and bring the country back on the global cultural map.
Slumdog Millionaire's soundtrack is expected to release on December 12, 2008.
