PUNE: If you’ve been wondering what’s going to happen to the iconic Sholay number Mehbooba mehbooba in Ram Gopal Verma’s remake, here is the answer.
The song, in which a drooling Gabbar Singh watches a gyrating Helen, was sung by R D Burman. The new version will have his widow Asha Bhonsle belting it out for the new generation of Sholay watchers.
This was disclosed by Asha herself during an interaction with journalists on Sunday. "When the offer came I was in two minds," she said. "But then I thought why allow some other singer to ruin a good song? If I sing it, at least the damage will be minimum," she added, tongue firmly in cheek.
Earlier speculation had it that the song would be sung by music director Himesh Reshammiya and Helen would be replaced by Urmila Matondkar. On Sunday, Asha demonstrated why she could still do a perfect Mehbooba retake. Even at 74, her voice remains crystal clear. When she hummed the Marathi song Kevha tari pahate... she did not need any musical accompaniment.
Asha said she has changed with the times and reinvented herself over and over, but she is not enamoured by the remix trend. "Why do you need to make people dance and wear such clothes? If your song is good and you have practised hard you don’t need such gimmicks." She also spoke about her upcoming album with Aamir Ali - son of gazal singer Ghulam Ali - and her stage shows with an American music group. "Then I am doing a show of Marathi songs called Mee Asha, which traces my evolution as a singer and my journey of 65 years."
Taking a trip down memory lane, she said the personal problems and pain she suffered in life made her concentrate even more on music and made her work more.
