Item songs have most of the time become the identity of a Bollywood movie and sometimes the item numbers become more
popular than the movie itself. The head honcho of T-series Bhushan Kumar, who is producing Anees Bazmee's film Ready, has
shot an extra-ordinary 'item number' for the film spending a whooping amount of Rs 2.5 crore.
According to Kumar, when the film is coming from a music house, it should have a grand feel in its music. Each tune
arrangement is touted to be a highlight of the film.
Speaking about the item number, Bhushan Kumar terms it to be
a complete clan item melody, which will have marriage as the background.
Unlike other item numbers, where the
item girl is the most important and highlighting factor, this song will involve the family members of around 25 to 30, who will be
seen enjoying and dancing on the occasion.
The marriage will be of two lead characters Salman Khan and Asin so
Salman will definitely remain the male flavor component in this song.
Since the film is a romantic comedy targeted for the family audience, the much talked item number will be a clean song that will
add to the mood of celebration. It will be much sophisticated than Dabangg's 'Munni Badnaam Hui' and Tees Maar Khan's
'Sheila Ki Jawani'.
The sprawling set at Film City, Goregaon was prepared by the art director Rajat Podar. Choreographers Chinni Prakash and
Mudassar took six days to complete the song. The song involved 100 dancers apart from the actors and about another 100
extras to fill up the extravagant set.
The music director Pritam took four months to create such a tune for the song 'Peechhe Peechhe'. The producer is planning to
build another grand set for one more song, which will be another highlight song sequence of the movie.
Well, it seems that 'Item song' is going a sea change through this movie!
