Bollywood Music composer-singer Sajid Khan from Sajid-Wajid recently launched his latest song ‘Mast Barsaat’ featuring Salman Yusuff Khan and Soundarya Sharma. Sajid reveals he had initially planned the song with the late actor Sidharth Shukla.
In an interaction with mid-day.com, Sajid talked about his song and revealed how Salman Yusuff Khan and Soundarya Sharma come on board. Talking about the song ‘Mast Barsaat’, he quoted saying, “I was at my friend’s studio and I found a harmonium that was in a terrible condition. I cleaned it and he told me that it belonged to his father and was more than 80 years old. The harmonium was used to create music for some big films from the past. I played a tune on it and really loved the tone, so I told him either gift it to me, I’ll buy it from you, or I’ll snatch it from you (laughs). From that tone, the composition of ‘Mast Barsaat’ came out. In today’s times where electronics and programming is doing all the key work, this is an organic song. The melody and lyrics are simple so I hope people love it.”
He further revealed how Salman Yusuff Khan and Soundarya Sharma got starred in it, “Salman is very dear to me and a younger brother to me. Taleem music is his house, so he gets whatever he wants. Initially, I wanted Sidharth (Shukla) in the song but unfortunately he’s no more. Then I made Salman hear the song though he had a busy schedule he said, “Bhai I would love to do this, let me handle it.” I said, “It’s yours brother.” We had called 3-4 girls for the female lead, but Soundarya is good in acting, has an Indian face and expressions are perfect.”
Recently, a video of Sajid Khan went viral on social media where he praised Sidharth Shukla calling him a ‘man of discipline and principles’. He said that Sidharth is his family’s favourite and his wife used to told him that he will win Bigg Boss 13. He revealed that he wanted to cast Sidharth in a song to surprise his whole family, but he is no more with us.
