Says director Adil Shaikh, “Mrunal Thakur will surprise you with her dance moves. Gallan Goriyan promises to be one helluva fun song, a family dance entertainer we shot in Mumbai some time ago. Once the lockdown is over and things normalise, I won’t be surprised if this becomes the go-to song to be played at weddings.”

Bhushan Kumar's T-Series presents Govind Bolo!

Jubin Nautiyal puts a soulful yet modern spin on T-Series' Govind Bolo!

May 20^th, 2020, Mumbai: T-Series has consistently been bringing audiences the best in music, even during these troubled COVID-19 times. The music label now presents 'Govind Bolo', in Jubin Nautiyal's soulful voice, as he puts a contemporary sound to this ode to Lord Krishna.

Jubin recently celebrated the massive success of Kabir Singh's ‘Tujhe Kitna Chahein Aur Hum’ and ‘Tum Hi Aana from Marjaavaan.’ He also collaborated with the country's biggest music label on 'Meri Maa', a special song dedicated to mothers on the occasion of Mother’s Day.  Jubin Nautiyal now gives us a modern yet soulful rendition of ‘Govind Bolo,’ a paean to Lord Krishna. Jubin has earlier done a devotional offering titled ‘Ganesha’ as praise to the Elephant God.

Spreading the message of positivity and hope, 'Govind Bolo' is composed by Raaj Aashoo, with lyrics by Pankaj Narayan and is produced, mixed and mastered by Aditya Dev. While the song has been in the making for a while, the finishing touches were added during the lockdown period. There couldn’t have been a better time for the song’s release, as it’s natural to turn to a higher force in challenging times such as the current global pandemic.

Says T-Series head honcho, Bhushan Kumar, "Jubin Nautiyal’s signature as an artist is that he brings a lot of feeling and soul to his music. Whether it's a sad song or a romantic one, most of the songs that Jubin has sung have an ethereal quality to them. That’s what made ‘Govind Bolo’ the perfect song for him. This song has a lot of light and vibrance and we wanted to give audiences something uplifting and encouraging during these difficult times.”

Talking about what makes this song special Jubin Nautiyal says, “When Raaj Aashoo sent me the song, I could hear myself sing it and I knew a song like this was the need of the hour. People were more inclined and connected -- devotionally and emotionally -- before the digital boom took place. As time progressed, a lot of the authenticity of Indian culture, devotion and emotions was lost. The lockdown is giving us time as a country, to decide where we want to go from here and devotional music reminds us of who we are, takes us back to our roots and spreads light.”

He adds, “With devotional music, cracking the right soul is important as your audience shouldn’t lose connect with the song even for a second. Lord Krishna has been my favourite. The point where darkness and light meet is where Lord Krishna lives and he shows us the right path.”

Bhushan Kumar's T-Series presents ‘Govind Bolo.’ Sung by Jubin Nautiyal and composed by Raaj Aashoo, the song has been produced, mixed and mastered by Aditya Dev, with lyrics by Pankaj Narayan. 'Govind Bolo' is out now on the T-Series YouTube channel.

The filmmaker aspires to reacquaint the masses to the era of musical romance and take his father Gulshan Kumar’s legacy forward who created magic with Mahesh Bhatt’s directorials.

Gulshan Kumar ruled the ‘90s by combining amazing storylines with the best tunes out there. Taking his vision forward with talented directors and zestful newcomers, he presented the audience with memorable films along with Mahesh Bhatt who helmed, Aashiqui starring Rahul Roy and Anu Agarwal, Pooja Bhatt and Aamir Khan starrer Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin and many more.

T-Series joined hands with Bhatt’s and took a step forward in making the franchise of Aashiqui in 2013 with Mohit Suri’s directorial Aashiqui 2 starring Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur, which was much loved by the audience for its heart-wrenching storyline and remarkable songs that are still crowd-favourites.

Wanting to take the legacy of musical romance forward, Kumar reveals his interest in creating strong franchises that will stem from these hit films. Talking on the same, Bhushan Kumar says, “Yes, Aashiqui and Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin are great franchises to take forward. Both films were big hits back in the day. I definitely want to make these beautiful films into franchises in future.”

The beauty of these films lies in the simplicity and purity of the story with the element of strong music that stands the test of time. This is the legacy that Bhushan Kumar wants to continue and we are excited to see what surprises await us in the near future.

~ Prime members can enjoy this foot-tapping mixtape by Neeti Mohan and Sukh E, first on Amazon Prime Music, ad-free

November 4, 2019: T-Series MixTape Punjabi Season 2 gets off to an energetic start with Neeti Mohan and Sukh E’s electrifying performance. Presented by Amazon Prime Music and produced by T-Series Chairman and Managing Director Bhushan Kumar, the two-month musical extravaganza will put on display 24 artists who will add a unique twist to the mix of two hugely popular Punjabi songs.

In the first episode, Neeti with her feminine grace and Sukh E with his ‘Punjab da puttar’ attitude will blow you away with their powerful, high voltage rendition of Nikle Currant and Wah Wai Wahh. The livewire performers have left no stone unturned to ensure that they do justice to the inaugural episode of  T-Series MixTape Punjabi Season 2, available first on Amazon Prime Music

The first episode serves as an embodiment of the razzmatazz that you are going to witness in the next 10 episodes. Radhika and Vinay Sapru, the series directors offer, “This episode captures what we had set out to do with T-Series MixTape Punjabi Season 2. It truly depicts the energy, the play of sound and light and the complete extravaganza with the artists. You can see the crowd enjoying the whole rendition and whatever the artists expresses. It truly comes out in the first episode.”

Says Neeti, “I have been part of MixTape for the last two seasons but that was in Hindi. This time I wanted to be an integral part of T-Series MixTape Punjabi Season 2. I am singing and performing in Punjabi for the first time for MixTape and I am so excited about it. I loved performing both the tracks and singing them with Sukh E was such a memorable experience.  I think Punjabi music is becoming my favourite genre already.”

Sukh E informs, “Nikle Currant, although sung by Jassie Gill, was a song I was associated with as a music producer. Wah Wai Wahh was a song that I had sung with Neha Kakkar a few months ago. So when I got this opportunity to be part of these two songs for T-Series MixTape Punjabi Season 2, I was determined ‘yeh to mujhe karna hi karna hai’. I was getting to show my skills as a live performer and I was very excited to be part of it.”

Laughing at the memory, Sukh E adds, “After, the first take, they found it difficult to see me jumping around and dancing so much. I was asked to go easy on the dancing bit. So, I had to control myself and I have never controlled myself while performing but, for a change, it was nice.”

Neeti and Sukh E’s high-energy, juxtaposition of the two songs will instinctively set you grooving. Adds,  Radhika and Vinay, “Each and every instrument whether it be the tumbi, guitar, dhol or the synth comes out so clear and correct in this episode that it truly is a great beginning to a great season that we are looking forward to and hoping that we hit it big at the word go.”

Aparshakti Khurana debuts as singer-composer-lyricist in T-Series produced single Kudiye Ni

Aparshakti Khurana, who you have so far known as an actor debuts as a singer-composer and lyricist with his maiden single Kudiye Ni, which released today. Interestingly, in a first once again, the video of  Kudiye Ni has been directed by his sister-in-law Tahira Kashyap Khurrana and is produced by Bhushan Kumar of T-Series. 

You will be surprised to know that Kudiye Ni was composed and written in exactly five minutes when Aparshakti was shooting for Dangal in Delhi four years ago. The directorial debut of Tahira is a simple song where the boy and girl meet at a common friend’s wedding in Chandigarh and indulge in light banter. “You could even call it a musical love conversation between the two,” quips,  Aparshakti. Besides Aparshakti the song features actor Sargun Mehta in the video.

Further talking about his debut single, Aparshakti says, “I took time to bring this song to the listeners/viewers. I was looking for the right window, the right person to direct it and the right platform and the label to release the song, the right co-actor to feature in it and the right person to render female vocals for it. Who better than versatile singer and family friend Neeti Mohan? That’s why it took four years. I believe everything happens at the right time. I did not want to come out with this single in a hurry for the heck of it.”

Director Tahira points out, “Aparshakti came to me with the song and said we have to shoot this video in the next 10 days and I was like okay, let’s do it. Suddenly, we were told the shoot has been preponed by 4-5 days. Here, I was thinking this is my debut effort and am going to do a full on prep but next thing we know we were rolling. It was complete madness but all of us had fun putting together the video.”  

Strangely, although Sargun was finalised to feature in the video months ago, the actors had to wait for three months to shoot it because they just couldn’t lock a date when both of them were free on the same day. Laughing at the memory, Sargun says, “Now also if someone asks for my dates, I can only give them dates in September not before that but yes I enjoyed working in Kudiye Ni because of the raw vibe and experimental streak that Tahira brought with her. It is a very hummable song and people who often caught me humming it would ask me what is that song?”  

Producer Bhushan Kumar adds: “Aparshakti’s talent has been revelatory. He is multi-talented just like his brother Ayushmann Khurrana. In Kudiye Ni, he impresses with the simplicity in which he has penned the small town nok-jhok between a boy and a girl. In a traditional set-up, he infuses a contemporary sensibility through the lyrics and the singing. Neeti Mohan matches the tempo in this peppy number through her playful singing.”
