Anu malik speaks for Priyanka Chopra

 

Music director Anu Malik, who gave the music for Priyanka Chopra’s first item number ‘Babli Badmaash’ in ” Shootout in Wadala”,said that PC was never willing to use vulgar words or go for skin show in her first ever item song.

It is notable that Babli Badmaash is the first item song of Priyanka which she has done for Sanjay Gupta directed Shootout at Wadala. Speaking on the song, composer Anu Malik said, “I believe they made a lot of songs that didn’t click with Priyanka. Those songs were made by various composers and were rejected by Priyanka. Her brief was that she doesn’t want any vulgar words and or skin-show”. The musician was not the first choice for the music in Sanjay Gupta directed film. Gupta initially called him to do only one song but he ended up doing three songs including the item number. On how the concept of ‘Babli Badmaash’ came about, Malik said, “We were sitting in Sanjay Gupta’s office with lyrics writer Kumar. Suddenly I had a vision of Priyanka in front of me. She is really bubbly. So I used the word Babli.”

It is notable that despite the hullabaloo created around the song, it failed to click the masses and couldn’t even score half as the success of Munni and Sheila. On the same, Anu feels that a superstar is no sure guarantee of a song’s success as music, catchy lyrics and other factors too play a key role.

Talking about Priyanka’s reaction to the song, Malik said, “Priyanka had called us to her house
after listening to the song. She said, ‘I got up humming this tune. Priyanka has a great ear for music.”
