MUMBAI:The much awaited music launch of J.P. Dutta?‹?“s version of ?‹?“Umrao Jaan?‹?“,took place at Mumbai?‹?“s Hayatt Regency. It was released by Lata Mageshkar on 29 September. This JP Dutta?‹?“s Umaro Jaan?‹?“s music composition has been noted by Anu Malik while the lyrics was penned by the noted lyricist Javed Akhtar.

Besides the above two, the leading actress Aishwarya Rai also showed up for the event. Nonetheless, the lead actor of the movie Abhishek Bachchan was missing, the Big B and Aishwarya Rai made up for the absence singing praises for the film?‹?“s music along with co-star Shabana Azmi.I absolutely love the music of this film, as I said earlier this is my dream come true to work in a movie like this, offered Aishwarya Rai. Naturally, the director was also talking about the music and the controversy around the story in the film. Not to be outdone, the music director and the lyricist had their own take.

It is a story from the 19th century being told in the 21st century, so it had to be kept in mind that it has the flavour of the 19th century music but it should have the sensibilities of the 21st century, added Javed Akhtar.

This has been a tough challenge. I worked diligently night and day to create this song, concluded Anu Malik.

Umrao Jaan has already generated enough curosity, interest and hype. One of the most eagerly awaited films of the year, it?‹?“s set to release on 3 November.
