Imran Abbas’s Jaanisaar
Music Album Launched
B
ollywood’s romantic periodic depiction of 19th century, Jaanisaar starring Pakistani heartthrob Imran
Abbas is on the verge of its much-awaited release
in the cinemas.Evergreen Pakistani singers like Abida
Parveen and Shafqat Amant Ali dominate the movie’s
juke box, paired with popular Indian voices of Shreya
Ghoshal, Sukhwinder Singh and Malini Awasthi. Shafaqt
is also the composer of the movie’s music along with
the director Muzzafar Ali.“Jaanisaar is not a regular Bollywood film. And since it’s set in the pre-Independence
era, the music has to be different and soulful. I have
been very fortunate to have Shafqat and Muzaffar Ali
who came up with soulful compositions,” remarked Jaanisaar’s producer Mira Ali.To line the event’ s mood with
Jaanisaar’s classic pre-Independence story, the grand
musical gala was given a touch of royalty with the classic “Awadh” ambience.Teleporting the audience to the
glorious historic era was the spree of live musical performances by Shafqat Amant Ali, who flew to India to grace
the event.Imran Abass never looked better flaunting his
smoldering looks in a smokey grey suit. His co-star, the
fashion entrepreneur Pernia Querishi who is marking
her debut in B-town with the movie, adorned a more desi
look for the event with a golden-pink lehnga, topped with
a traditional tikka on her head.What’s more, Qureshi
took to the dance floor to perform a graceful number on
a classical- themed song from the movie “Humein Bhi
Pyaar Kar Le”.“The music in the film has helped me a
lot to transform into Noor (her character in the film), and
has taken me back into that era, and I do think that the
interesting thing about the music in ‘Jaanisaar’ is that
its timeless and classic. It is something which one can
hear even after thirty years and enjoy,” commented PerniaThe makers of Bollywood’s Umrao Jaan, veteran director Muzaffar Ali is making a revolutionary comeback
with Jaanisaar.Set 20 years later after the 1857 War of
Independence, the tale unfolds the story of an English
prince played by Imran who falls in love with a beautiful
courtesan of Avadh, India, played by Pernia.Jaanisaar
will raise the curtains of the cinemas on 7th August 2015.
