Singer Shashi Suman, who has sung the song Albela Sajan from Bajirao Mastani, said that actor Ranveer Singh was "shocked" when he first heard the track.
Albela Sajan, composed by Bajirao Mastani director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, is a recreation of a song from the filmmaker's iconic 1999 romantic-drama Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.
"All the songs were ready before the shooting began. Ranveer heard Malhari first and was shocked. He was wondering how will he dance to it, how will it be shot. Then he heard Albela Sajan and was shocked all the more. It was a pure hard core classical number which was opposite of Malhari. He liked it a lot and was excited about the songs as there are so many variations in the album," the singer told PTI. (Also Read: Why Ranveer Singh Was Asked to 'Control His Energy' For Malhari)
The original song featured actors Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, in which there were snippets of Salman's musical lessons from Aishwarya's father and his romance with her.
Mr Suman, who also composed the music of Mary Kom, said that the track in Bajirao Mastani will be a "welcome song".
"I don't know about the exact situation is but it is supposed to be a welcome song for Bajirao. Sanjay sir really liked the song and wanted to use it. He said there could be no better song than Albela Sajan for a welcome number."
The original song was sung by Sultan Khan, Shankar Mahadevan and Kavita Krishnamurthy, and the recreated version has been rendered Kunal Pandit, Prithvi Gandharva, Kanika Joshi, Rashi Raagga, Geetika Manjrekar along with Mr Suman.
"Albela Sajan is a traditional song. For Bajirao Mastani, only the lyrics of the mukhada have been taken from it. The arrangements, tempo, notes and pace is new," he said.
Mr Suman, who assisted Mr Bhansali for Ram Leela said that he was not nervous to record the new song.
"I was not nervous at all. The song was created in front of me. I was involved in the creative process of it, starting from the studio work. It is a classical song which is a genre I am comfortable with," he said.
