Tum Kya Mile, Homage To My Guru Yash Chopra Says Karan Johar
Mumbai, 28th June 2023 (Newshelpline) – Ahead of first single, Tum Kya Mile from Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani release, filmmaker Karan Johar pens a heartfelt note, and dedicates the song to his guru Yash Chopra.
Sharing a working still from the song, Karan Johar penned, “In a few hours #tumkyamile will be yours….I remember at the very onset my instinct was that I wanted to film a love song that would unabashadley pay homage to my guru Yash Chopra….The thinking evolved mind would say “you can’t match it or even dare to emulate it“ but the fan boy and the ardent lover of snow, chiffons, the stunning locations of Kashmir and sheer romance got the better of me…”
“Pritam Dada and I yearned for a song for the ages from the ages and it had it be unapologetic or it wouldn’t be true…My deepest gratitude to Vaibhavi Merchant who got the Memo better than I did and completely took charge and being a Yash Chopra lover herself…she gave her heart to our song…”
“This is also the first shoot Alia did after the birth of her angel and I remain in apology for freezing her in Manish Malhotra chiffons…in sympathy I fell drastically ill through the shoot (a karmic punishment perhaps) Ranveer was nervous as this was his first lip sync mountain love song but he was a real trooper…So we are back to the valleys for a ishq wala lip sync chiffon saree song…I hope you feel the love as much as we felt the cold…This one’s for you Yash uncle…Your fan forever, Karan” read the full note.
Composed by Pritam, penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya and crooned by Arijit Singh, featuring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt, the song will be out tomorrow.
