According to Karan Johar, “Tum Kya Mile” Is A Homage To His Guru Yash Chopra
Before the release of the first single from “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani,” “Tum Kya Mile,” director Karan Johar sent a touching letter dedicating the song to his “guru,” Yash Chopra.
“In a few hours #tumkyamile will be yours,” KJo said with a working still from the song. I recall that right afterwards, I got the need to record a love song that would unmistakably honour my mentor, Yash Chopra.
He said, “The thinking matured mind would say ‘you can’t duplicate it or even attempt to mimic it,’ but the fanboy and the fervent admirer of snow, chiffons, the beautiful surroundings of Kashmir, and pure romanticism got the better of me…
“Pritam Dada and I yearned for a song for the ages from the ages, but it had to be unapologetic or it wouldn’t be true,” Pritam Dada said. My sincere appreciation to Vaibhavi Merchant, who understood the Memo better than I did and took full control. She dedicated her heart to our song since she is a fan of Yash Chopra.
“This is also the first shot Alia performed following the birth of her angel,” he said, “and I remain in remorse for freezing her in Manish Malhotra chiffons… in sympathy I grew seriously unwell during the session (a karmic retribution maybe). Ranveer was a wonderful soldier despite being anxious since this was his first attempt at lip-syncing a mountain love ballad. We are now returning to the valleys for an ishq wala lip-sync song with a chiffon saree. I hope you experience love in the same way that we experienced cold. This one is for you, Yash uncle. Karan will always be your fan.
Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt are featured in the song, which was composed by Pritam, written by Amitabh Bhattacharya, and sung by Arijit Singh.
The romantic comedy family drama movie “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” is directed by Karan Johar and written by Ishita Moitra, Shashank Khaitan, and Sumit Roy.
The movie, which was made by Dharma Productions and Viacom18 Studios, also features Shabana Azmi, Jaya Bachchan, and Dharmendra. On July 28, it is slated for release.
