After Bhoot Bangla, lyricist Yatindra Mishra teams up with Pritam, Priyadarshan and Akshay
India, May 10 -- National Film Award-winning author and poet Yatindra Mishra turned lyricist with filmmaker Priyadarshan's Bhoot Bangla. His song O Ri O Sanwariya, composed by music director Pritam and filmed on Akshay Kumar, Tabu, and Jisshu Sengupta, was well received. HT City has now exclusively learnt that the lyricist has again teamed up with Pritam and Priyadarshan for Haiwaan starring Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan.
"I made my debut in Hindi film song writing with O Ri O Sanwariya, which was on the lines of Mera Dholna (Bhool Bhulaiyaa, 2007) but done in a very different manner. The Haiwaan song is again very different but it's a beautiful number. More details are awaited, and a formal announcement will be done for the same," says the writer of biopics Lata Sur Gatha and Gulzar Saab: Hazaar Rahen Mud Ke Dekheen.
Giving insight on how the author and poet turned into a film lyricist, he says, "I have written Ram Tandav (Soor Veer Rang Rag Dheer Veer) for Priyadarshan's documentary Sabke Ram that was sung by Malini Awasthi on music by Kerala-based national award-winning composer Ramesh Narayan. It was after this song that the filmmaker offered him a song for his film."
He adds, "For the song, he called me to Mumbai and booked me a hotel for two days. With God's grace, the song was written in two hours, and they liked the song. The music, his direction, and vocals by Shreya Ghoshal, Javed Ali, and Prithvi Gandharv gave it a beautiful texture. More songs are happening, but slowly and steadily, as poetry is my core, and I want to write meaningful songs."
Last year, on Shri Ram Temple's second anniversary of Pran Pratistha ceremony, the temple trust released the song Hey Sakal Vishwas Ram that was penned by Yatindra and sung by Hariharan, Sonu Nigam, Anuradha Paudwal, and Malini Awasthi....
