Abhijeet Bhattacharya revealed he sang a Salman Khan song imagining Govinda
Abhijeet lent his song for David Dhawan’s action-comedy film Judwaa. While the movie stars Salman Khan in the lead role, the singer sang the song Tan Tana Tan Tan Tara thinking that he was playback singing for Govinda.
Sharing this anecdote with us in the same interview, the senior singer shared that David Dhawan hasn’t worked with any other actor apart from Govinda ever since he became a successful filmmaker. Moreover, no one ever told him who was leading the movie. Everyone but him knew the film starred Salman.
Therefore, when he was recording the song, the recordist told him ‘Aap kyun Govinda bane hue ho?’ “Those guys were also thinking why was I singing like Govinda,” he stated.
Abhijeet further 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 (I didn't know that Salman was in the movie. But no one knew in this song because it was focussed on the dance rather than on his face. The way it was sung, the expressions and acting weren't shown),” he divulged.
The 1997 box-office success film Judwaa features Salman, Karishma Kapoor, Rambha, Kader Khan, Dalip Tahil, Shakti Kapoor, Deepak Shirke, Anupam Kher, Satish Shah and Mukesh Rishi.
