Such was the scenario at ENZY Studios in Jogeshwari that was packed with a energy like no other with all the media waiting with bated breath for Akshay Kumar to sing a special song for them. This song was dedicated to the word Entertainment and naturally to Akshay's upcoming movie as well. The reaction was as expected, stupendous!
A strict workout regime, a long holiday with his family and smiles galore, Akshay was glowing as he sang and he did sing extremely well. Speaking on this song that composer Chirantan Bhatt composed specially for Akshay said that, "I am so happy that you all have loved the song. This song has no relation to the movie. It is a song dedicated to Entertainment as everyone loves to be entertained, no man has never said that he does not like Entertainment in his life. The word Entertainment is a seller on its own and today its a multi billion dollar industry be it cricket, movies etc as everyone craves to have fun and thereby be entertained. Everyday life is so stressful and filled with troubles for everyone and my aim is to make people happy when they hear this song and forget those troubles for a brief moment. I was a little scared to record live in front of the media, but the song demanded for a raw voice and I believe that anyone can sing it, and so for me this song is a dedication to the very word Entertainment." The song is however not a part of the movie.
Speaking on other Bollywood stars going behind the mike and adding to movie promotions, Akshay said that, "I like Shraddha's song in Ek Villain. I believe it is a good thing. It definitely does help promote the movie that we have so painstakingly made. I also think it is a good thing that actors are trying different things like singing, comedy roles, villian roles and exploring more aspects of cinema. Even in Hollywood, they learn how to act along with vocals and in Broadway, actors sing and act at the same time, therefore it is good that we are exploring the same." Personally Akshay tunes into his son's playlist and listens to the music his son likes and he also enjoys instrumental. Akshay even sang a few lines especially dedicated to the media wherein he included names of some publications which was surely the highlight of the event! He also called upon people from the media to come and sing with him, He had everyone entertained and in splits with his witty charm, dashing looks and soul stirring voice!
The song is based on the fact that everyone wants entertainment, from the media to the common man to the elderly, everyone simply wants to be entertained and that is what Akshay also did at this event, he personified Entertainment for one and all.
Proud director duo Sajid Farhad were all smiles and so was Producer Ramesh Taurani. All in all, an event like no other, Akshay you are truly a star in every sense! All in all, an event like no other.
