Mumbai, Aug 8 (IANS) Almost two decades after the ‘Tera Mera Rishta’ from Emraan Hashmi’s ‘Awarapan’ made its way into the hearts of music lovers, acclaimed composer Mithoon has come up with his own version of the beloved track, while keeping the soul and emotional depth of the original song intact.
As the latest rendition of the track received a lot of love from the audience, Mithoon claimed that his version of the song is an answer from the Almighty.
Elated by the overwhelming response to the song, Mithoon said, “I’m elated to see the response to ‘Tera Mera Rishta Continues’. I’m grateful to all the Awarapan fans for embracing my version wholeheartedly. This song holds a lot of significance in the lives of the listeners, apart from being the cry of Shivam’s (Emraan) heart reaching out to the Almighty. My version is an answer back from the Almighty who wants Shivam to stand back and fight against evil once again.”
This song also successfully carries forward the legacy of its original creative team while adding its own flavour.
“Vishesh Bhatt wanted new lyrics on the song which were to have prophetic significance. I feel nobody in the world could deliver it better than Sayeed Quadri since he was part of the original version with Pritam and Mustafa Zahid, who originally created this masterpiece,” the composer went on to add.
Mithoon even decided to introduce fresh voices with Saaj Bhatt and Subodh Sharma crooning the new version.
“I’ve always believed in adapting to every circumstance and saw this as an opportunity to do something novel. That’s why I decided to go with the voice of Saaj Bhatt and Subodh Sharma. My job was to protect the purity of the composition while adding the necessary dimension as required in this chapter of Shivam’s life,” he shared.
Directed by Nitin Kakkar and produced by Vishesh Bhatt under the banner of Vishesh Films, ‘Awarapan 2’ has Emraan Hashmi, Disha Patani , and Shabana Azmi in key roles.
