Live Perfomance with 100 Musican

Sajid Khan is nowadays busy with his film Himmatwala, which is the remake of 1983 original film, and staying true to the retro theme of the film he brings back the Live song recording with orchestra, an old-school concept which sort of vanished with the technological advancements over the years.

The filmmaker flagged off his film with a song recording in a retro style. Music composer duo Sajid-Wajid, who has composed the music for the film, used 100 musicians orchestra to record the chartbuster song Taaki O Taaki of original Himmatwala.

Sajid says, "Such live recordings don't happen today because of the technological advancement. As our film is retro based we wanted to bring this idea out. I met some of these musicians in the morning they were literally in tears. I could see the glee in their eyes with the return of live recording. Hats off to my producers Vashu Bhagnani and UTV, who supported my decision!”

Sajid-Wajid said, "It may be an old concept of recording with 100 musicians but the sound always stands out. There came a time when we used only synthetic sound. We think it's a perfect blend of electronic and live which will only add to the film's music. Besides Taaki there are other songs in the film which will be recorded in the same method."
