Anu Malik stressed for 'Umrao Jaan' sound

Much awaited musical block-buster 'JAAN-E-MANN' is emerging as a big release for this Diwali/Idd release with an extravagant trailer and song 'Humko Maloom Hain' creating a splash.

The romantic musical love story based in New York is showcased like a Broadway musical with the story told in an unusual manner. The canvas is huge and has an international feel to it.

Sources who have seen a sneak peek of the music and song maintains that this is Anu Malik at his very best and also that the music is so good that it is giving stress to Anu Malik's other work 'Umrao Jaan'. Anu Malik has indeed raised the bar in JAAN-E-MANN.

Says Anu Malik "I always give Sajid the very best. And having met Shirish during Main Hoon Na, what I particularly like about him is that he has his situations clearly spelt out in his mind and knows exactly what he wants. He has motivated me to do great work. In JAAN-E-MANN you will find ballads as well as a full on item number. But one of the favorites has to be the sad song penned by Gulzaar Saab!"

Sources also say that the film is shot like a Hollywood musical and it has to be Farah Khan's best choreographed work to date. Adds the source that it is expected from Farah since it is her husband's debut film.

Trade-wallahs who have also backed the film to the hilt say that it looks like a Karan Johar, Yash Raj product.

The enterprising producer, Sajid laughs this off and says "Truly, it's a big compliment. But let's just say it's a 'Nadiadwala Grandsons' production. I am not here to compete or be compared to anyone. JAAN-E-MANN music gels quite well with the musical genre of the film. Anu Malik has delivered a gem. JAAN-E-MANN has been made from the heart. Shirish, me and the actors have put our heart and soul into it and I'm glad people love the look of the film."
