Pritam's midnight mayhem

Pritam Chakraborty made the most of his whirlwind tour of Kolkata by recording a number with Ustad Rashid Khan in the middle of the night! "

After I finished my show on Wednesday, I went to Kalighat. It was only after 11.30 pm that I could hit the studio, where Rashidji recorded a number for Mausam". The pack-up happened only after 2.30 am," said the composer. Incidentally, Khan had sung the melodious "Aaoge jab tum" track for guest composer Sandesh Shandilya in "Jab We Met", Pritam was the composer of which.

"This is the first time that I worked with Rashidji and he turned out to be a chilled out man. He had earlier rendered a portion of the song to Pankaj Kapur when in Mumbai, but we did the recording in Kolkata on Wednesday. It's a very different song, where the word, 'mausam', keeps surfacing. We'll be using it as the film's title track," added Pritam. Even though most of the tracks will be part of the background score, barring one item number, this song will be Khan's second to be picturized on Shahid Kapoor.

OMG!! is Shahid doing an item number? 😲 😲
super duper excited for mausam!! 😃
