| | | | Abhijeet Sawant with producer Surendra Bhatia and Deepak Tijori at the song recording at Krishna Studios in May last year | The country's first Indian Idol, Abhijeet Sawant's maiden Bollywood outing, lies unheard.
In May last year, Abhijeet recorded a track for a film to be produced by Oracle Entertainment, the producers of this week's release, Tom Dick And Harry.
Sawant had rendered the track at Krishna Studios, Andheri. It was a solo number, Chand Jaisi Ladki.
He was also slated to sing a duet with Shreya Ghosal. In an interview to HiTLIST last May, Abhijeet said, "This was the first film offer that came my way." Producer Surendra Bhatia and director Deepak Tijori were also present at the recording.
Says Bhatia, "Yes, we had recorded a track with Abhijeet Sawant last year. But we decided to keep that song for another Oracle Entertainment project, titled De De Pyar De. This film, also directed by Deepak Tijori, is on hold for the moment. It has music scored by Sanjeev-Darshan."
Script changed
It is learnt that De De Pyar De was how initially Tom Dick and Harry was conceived. As work progressed on the film, the script was altered, and the set-up changed.
Admits Tijori, "We began the project as De De Pyar De. Later, the script was modified, and the whole production became a new project, which we titled Tom Dick and Harry."
Incidentally, as De De Pyar De, the film's music composers were Sanjeev-Darshan, but when it became Tom Dick and Harry, Himesh Reshammiya was chosen to score the music.
"But Abhijeet's song is our property, and can be used for any Oracle project in the future," adds Tijori. Oracle Productions' earlier film was Fun — Can Be Dangerous Sometimes. |
