Ayan Mukerji on usage of 'Love storiyaan' in 'Kesariya': It's like bahut shakkar mein thoda namak

Even after multiple delays and hurdles, one film which has still managed to be in the spotlight is Brahmastra. The Ayan Mukerji starrer is finally all set for a theatrical release and promo videos and songs from the film have been released. 

It was recently that the much-awaited song 'Kesariya' which was earlier only launched as a 60 seconds track got released in its complete length. While, fans loved the song immensely, there was a usage of an English word in the lyrics which struck the attention of the audience and made them bash and ridicule it.

Ayan Mukerji, director of the Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt-starrer Brahmastra, has opened up on the usage of the word ‘love storiyaan’ in the song, Kesariya.

On Reddit, a video of Ayan discussing the subject in an interview has gone viral.

On being told about how fans have called the usage of ‘love storiyaan’ as elaichi in a biryani, Ayan said, 

"We put it with a lot of love, we found it very interesting. We did not find it like elaichi, we thought it was a twist like bahut shakkar me thoda namak jab aata hai, uska ek maza, ek swaad hai. Because the film is a modern film and the lyrics of the song are so traditional and simple, this would have been a fun twist. I still feel that in some time, people will actually start enjoying it even more."

Brahmastra is touted to be a mythological fantasy with a modern twist. The film stars Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan, Mouni Roy and Nagarjuna in pivotal roles. It will hit the big screens on 9th September 2022.
