Amaal unites with dad Daboo Mallik for his next song

After the success of his latest songs, Kyun Rabba and Tum Na Aaye, from Amitabh Bachchan and Taapsee Pannu-starrer Badla, music composer Amaal Mallik is excited about the soundtrack of Akiv Ali’s upcoming directorial venture, starring Ajay Devgn, Tabu and Rakulpreet Singh-starrer.

Amaal recorded a 24-piece

orchestra

for one of the songs, titled Chale Aana. The musicians playing for his

song

have played for legends like RD Burman, Laxmikant-Pyarelal, Nadeem-Shravan, Jatin-Lalit, and on his father’s composition, Thoda Sa Pyaar Hua Hai.

The song also marks a family union of sorts, with Amaal composing the song, Armaan singing it and the live arrangements being designed and conducted by their father, Daboo Malik.

Amaal says the experience of working with his dad on the song was emotional. Talking about the day of the recording, Amaal says, “It was nostalgic, because my father met all his musician friends after several years. It felt like the king has come back home. He knew what I wanted as a composer, and he and his team nailed the perfect arrangement for the song in about four hours.”
