Farhan's love for music is well known as the actor has crooned to various tracks in his earlier outings.
The actor-singer learns Cappella a form of music for the latest song Ek Kabootar, Do Kabootar from Lucknow Central.
A cappella is essentially a style of singing, solo or group, without any instrumental accompaniment.
The idea of including this form of music came from daily life incidents.
Director Ranjit Tiwari shares, `Sometimes when we are talking to someone, the person is tapping his foot. It is from here that we got the idea of giving these traits a musical bend. So, while writing the characters of the film, these traits naturally became a part of them".
Producer Nikkhil Advani also shares insights on adopting the new style. He shares, `Since the jail inmates aren't competent with musical instruments, we decided to incorporate body percussion and cappella techniques. We got ace percussionist Taufiq Qureshi on board, he added a lot of layers to the song.`
The makers also brought world famous body percussionist Bharat Verma on board to train the actors, including Farhan.
'Lucknow Central' is set against the backdrop of a jail that thrives on ambition, passion, friendship, and determination.
