Sukriti Kakkar is glad that she was is town when Sheykhar called her to record ‘Jhoome Jo Pathaan’!
YRF’s latest blockbuster #Pathaan released in theatres on Jan 25. The movie marks the comeback of our country’s biggest superstar #ShahRukhKhan and has clocked in unprecedented numbers since it’s release.
The hype around the film piqued sky high ever since the audience got a sneak peek of the teaser, the songs – Besharam Rang and Jhoome Jo Pathaan, followed by the slick and action packed trailer, almost a month back.
While the film has been making and breaking records each day, the craze of its songs has left the audiences hooked to it. Infact, videos of the people grooving to Jhoome Jo Pathaan in the theatres have been going viral, reiterating how much the audience has loved the music of the film.
Sharing her excitement about singing the female vocals for Jhoome Jo Pathaan, singer Sukriti Kakkar shares, “So actually, the crazy thing about this song is that whatever you’re hearing right now is actually two years old. Now, I can say that because it’s 2023. But I remember it was one afternoon I got a call very randomly almost two years ago from Sheykhar and he had just reached out to ask me if I was in town and if I could come over to the studio to record something. And luckily I was in town because a lot of times what happens is you’re either traveling for a gig or a concert and you’re not in town and you happen to miss the recording all together. But luckily that day I was there and I was so excited because you know I’ve always wanted to work with Vishal and Sheykhar and this just kind of came through.”
She adds, “So I went over to the studio I met Vishal, Sheykhar and Kumar sir who’s written the song and Siddharth Anand and everybody was there and we just started to get into the song. I had no idea actually and there was no conversation at all with either of them about what movie it is for, who’s in the movie or what am I singing for because I think what’s most important at the time of the recording is the song and I knew I really wanted to deliver and do a good job and there really wasn’t any other conversation. But I knew what I was singing because it was the title track. So I think it was a given that it is for Pathaan.”
