For his wife's next Dhobi Ghat, Aamir Khan has convinced the Bimal Roy family to lend him a song from Madhumati
It's true love indeed. While Kiran Rao's directorial debut Dhobi Ghat stars hubby Aamir, he in turn is trying his best to accessorise her film the best he can. And if it needs him to buy timeless jewels, he will, reports Mumbai Mirror..
After much effort, Aamir has managed to convince Bimal Roy's family to lend him the rights to use the super hit 1958 Lata-Mukesh number Dil Tadap Tadap Ke Kaha Raha Hai Aa Bhi Jaa in Dhobi Ghat.
This evergreen song was from Bimal Roy's film Madhumati. The necessary permission from Roy's family has been taken and if all goes well, Dhobi Ghat will have the song and that too with a new look.
The buzz is that the song, which was picturised on Dilip Kumar in Madhumati, is likely to now feature Aamir Khan in Dhobi Ghat. While Dilip Kumar's charm is tough to parallel, Aamir Khan is sure to add a new dimension to it.
Apparently, early last week, Aamir Khan approached Bimal Roy's family and told them that he would like to use the Madhumati song in Dhobi Ghat.
Bimal Roy's family readily agreed. A senior member of their family said, “Aamir and our family go back a long way. Aamir's uncle Nasir Hussain and Bimal Roy were close friends.”
Confirming this, Bimal Roy's son Joy, who is currently in London, told Mumbai Mirror, “It is true that we have given the Madhumati song to Aamir for the film which his wife is directing.” Bimal Roy's family wouldn't mind if the song is even remixed in Dhobi Ghat. A source said, “It's okay by the family even if Aamir remixes the song. It would be so nice if such a song of the golden era is made available to the young generation.”
Question is, will Bimal Roy fans like it too?
