The clock wound 36 years back in time at Mumbai’s Andrews College with the relaunch of Hindi cinema’s iconic song ‘Papa Kehte Hain’ on Monday.
The song was relaunched as a part of the upcoming Rajkummar Rao-starrer ‘Shrikanth’.
At the media event, Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan and the king of 1990s playback, veteran singer Udit Narayan, engaged in a fun banter as they walked down the memory lane.
Talking to the media, the legendary singer said, “We all in the team of ‘Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak’ were starting off in the industry at that time. I was particularly quite nervous, and felt if this song didn’t work, I would have to pack my bags and go back to my hometown.”
Aamir chimed in as he quipped, “Aur mujhe dekh ke toh inko pakka laga hoga, ‘Ye hero hai toh fir pakka saamaan baandh kar vapas jana padega’ (Looking at a debut actor like me at that time, he must’ve felt that it’s definitely time for him to pack bags)”.
Music composer Aditya Deb, who has redone ‘Papa Kehte Hain’, shared that he requested Udit to re-record a small bit of the song on a 6/8 time signature for the song.
