Abhijeet Bhattarcharya reveals singing Tan Tana Tan song imagining Govinda not Salman Khan
In an interview with Pinkvilla, Abhijeet Bhattacharya talked about the song Tan Tana Tan from Judwaa and said, "Phone aaya Anu Malik ka ki aaja yaar Sahara Studio mein. David Dhawan ka gaana hai. Humko kabhi bhi wo rehearsal pe nahi bulate the. Wo bolte the isko gaana suna do aur chhod do, uske baad jo Abhijeet gayega wahi hoga. Toh mujhe bulaya. David Dhawan tab set pe nahi the. Gaana likha, sab ho gaya. Fir maine mic pe gaya."
He added that when he sang the song, he imagined Govinda and sang, "David Dhawan ne Govinda ko chhod ke kabhi kisi ke saath kaam hi nahi kiya jab se wo David Dhawan bana hai. Toh mujhe kisi ne nahi bataya ki ismein kaun hai. Sabko pata hai picture ban rahi hai, ismein Salman Khan hai. Aap believe karo mujhe nahi malum tha."
He shared that one cannot imagine Salman in this song as he sang it in the Govinda way. Abhijeet said, "Mujhe samne se recordist bol rahe the 'Aap kyun Govinda bane hue ho.' Toh wo bhi soch rahe the ki main Govinda ki tarah kyun kar raha hun."
He added, "Mujhe pata hi nahi tha Salman hai picture mein. Is song pe lekin pata nahi pada kyun ki face ki jagah pura dance pe aur choreography pe le gaye. Jis tarah se gaaya gaya wo expressions aur acting nahi dikhaye gaye."
