Yesteryear actors in Bombay Talkies song

2 May 2013

Of late, everybody has been raving about Bombay Talkies, the film that celebrates 100 years of Indian cinema. For those who thought that the film is a unique novelty attempt in itself, wait till you hear this.

So far, the film's makers had released the second half of the track ' Bombay Talkies ' that spans around 4 minutes. The song starts with Aamir Khan alongwith Anil Kapoor, Shah Rukh Khan, Shahid Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit, Juhi Chawla, Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor and others. Keeping in tune the surprise element, the makers have the song's first half 'shot' in black and white, which features the legendary names like Shatrughan Sinha, Amitabh Bachchan, Waheeda Rehman, Nutan, Tanuja, Zeenat Aman, Prithviraj Kapoor, Nargis Dutt, Sunit Dutt, Madhubala, Praveen Babi, Rishi Kapoor, Hema Malini and Rekha! The 'secret' of bringing the yesteryear stars to life is that the brief portions of the aforesaid stars' films have been picked up and have been collated on VFX. That's why it seems that they are lip syncing the song! Confirming the news, the film's producer Ashi Dua said, "The song took 3 - 4 months to be made. It has come out beautifully. A lot of hard work was put in by both Amit Trivedi and Vaibhavi Merchant for this song. We have used clippings from a lot of iconic films like Sholay, Pyaasa, Mughal-E- Azam to name a few."
