Aditya Chopra's blockbuster romantic film 'Mohabbatein' starring Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai has completed 50 years. All the songs of the film were choreographed by choreographer and filmmaker Farah Khan. Here are some of the unforgettable things associated with these songs, which are worth enjoying.
Before 'Mahobbate', I choreographed exactly one song for the film 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge', 'Ruk Ja O Dil Diwane ...' for Yash Raj Films, which was a huge hit. After this I sang 'Dil To Pagal Hai' for YRE which was directed by Yashrajji. After this I did two love songs 'Dholna ...' and 'Bholi Si Surat ...'. So I was thrilled when Adi asked me to choreograph all the songs of 'Mohabbatein'. 'Mohabbatein' was Adi's second film and it was also a big deal after 'Dilwale', 'says Farah Khan, chewing on old memories.
'Mohabbatein' with Shah Rukh-Aishwarya's on-screen duo was a blockbuster. Earlier, the two actors appeared as brothers and sisters in the film 'Josh'. 'Adi was clear about what he wanted in each song, which helped me a lot. Each song had a screenplay. And so it was composed. And also known as Act-One, Act-to-Act-Three. What will happen at the beginning of the song, what will happen in the middle and what will happen at the end, says Farah. Now she has become a successful filmmaker.
'We didn't know it at the time. We didn't even know that Aishwarya was being imagined by Shah Rukh Khan. In this song, Shah Rukh could see Aishwarya's soul. We shot this song in the cold and rain in London. We then went to Switzerland for two songs. 'Hum ko hami se chura lo ...' One of the two songs was really the best. He said.
Of course, Adi is really very, very organized. He wanted to blame me and I wanted to prove that we are all a team of hard workers. Adi is walking around at lunch break when we are all eating and thinking about what shorts to take now. "I didn't see him taking a lunch break," says Farah.
Farah says that Shah Rukh Kadiya was not present during the choreography and Yashji was present on the set in every song. They assist Adi. All the children (Uday Chopra, Samita Shetty, Jimmy Shergill, Preeti Jangiani, Kim Sharma and Jugal Hansraj) who were shooting the song rehearsed two to three women while Shah Rukh Khan would come five minutes before the shooting and learn the steps of the song. He did not come to the Kadiya rehearsal. After learning the five minute step, he performed amazingly. This is his distinctive style, said Farah Khan.
