Yesudas lends his voice for 'Barefoot To Goa'
Mumbai, March 27
Praveen Morchhale, who is
gearing up with his debut venture "Barefoot To Goa", says he managed to
rope in legendary singer K.J. Yesudas, to sing a song in his film. The
filmmaker says the singer found it "soulful".
Morchhale told
IANS: "Yesudas is very choosy. He probably doesn't like the latest
songs, but when we approached him with our song, we waited for some
time. Then we thought he would not be interested.
"But later, his
manager called us and said he would like to record for this song as the
song was very soulful and meaningful. Then we went to Chennai to record
the song with him."
While Yesudas is known to have recorded as
many as 16 songs in a day, for the song "Naina do nyare" in "Barefoot To
Goa", the singer took nearly four hours to record as he wanted it to
turn out perfect.
"He is the most humble and calm person I have
ever come across. He recorded the song in four hours and we are thankful
to him," Morchhale said.
"Barefoot To Goa" revolves around the
relationship of a grandmother and her two grandchildren. The film
features Sonu Chourasia, Ajay Chourey and Farrukh Jaffar among others.
The film is slated for release on April 10.
