Bipasha Basu and Neil Nitin Mukesh
Actor Neil Nitin Mukesh has finally convinced his co-star Bipasha Basu to sing with him the remix version of ‘Aa Dekhen Jara’ for their next film Aa Dekhen Jara. The original version of the song is sung by Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhosle for film Rocky.
Neil was first hesitating to reveal Bipasha’s contribution to the song, but he finally revealed, “I convinced Bipasha to join me. After composer, Gaurav Dasgupta and I sat down and re-worked the entire song, adding portions of semi-classical alaaps restructuring and modifying the tune, I realized the track was incomplete without a female voice. After all Kishore Kumar who’s my favorite singer, has Ashaji in his version of ‘Aa Dekhen Jara’. Why can’t I have Bipasha?”
To convince Bipasha, Neil took help of John (too whom he call as John bhaiyya). “John and Bipasha can never say no to me,” said Neil.
“She agreed to sing and we will be recording her portions soon,” added Neil.
But, the latest version sounds different than the original R D Burman’s track. On that note Neil said, “Yes, I’ve changed it completely. Bipasha and I won’t only sing the track we’ll also perform to it. We will be using it as a promotional video for the film.”
