Shahid Kapoor, the lead actor in Haider, is a trained dancer. But even he found it challenging to do one of film’s songs, Bismil.
“This song comes when Haider is emotionally upset. Doing steps was not that important, but it was to bring angst through choreography. It was amazing and challenging to do this song and it is one of the best songs of my career. More than song it is a story,” said Kapoor.
“It was essential for Haider not to dance like Shahid. Haider should have his own body language and style. Sudesh did the choreography, which is different. His choreography is more performance driven,” the film’s director Vishal Bhardwaj said at the film’s music launch.
Co-stars Tabu and Shraddha Kapoor sing a traditional Kashmiri song Roshe valle.
“She (Shraddha) is good at singing. She has sung a Kashmiri folk song in the film. The song will move you emotionally,” Bhardwaj said.
“This is the first time there will be ten songs in the film — all different genres — and we are excited about it,” he added.
“We are very excited about the music launch of our film Haider. It is an exciting album,” Shraddha said.
