Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal’s ‘Tum Kya Mile’ from Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani which releases on June 28, is the first song from the film to be out when in fact it was the last song to be recorded for the film. “Karan and music composer Pritam just couldn’t find the right love song for Rocky and Rani. Pritam gave Karan at least 10-11 options. But something was not working out. Eventually they decided to go with one of the options. But at the eleventh hour, Karan pulled it out, arguing that it didn’t sound perfect,” a source close to Karan inform me.
The hunt began all over again for the perfect love song. And this time, Pritam’s creative juices flowed into Tum kya mile.
Continues the source, “You have to understand Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions has a reputation for outstanding love songs, like ‘Tum Paas Aaye’ in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, ‘Suraj Hua Madhyam’ in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and ‘Tere Naina’ from My Name Is Khan. Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani had to feature that one outstanding love song. Karan kept pushing Pritam until he came up with ‘Tum Kya Mile’.”
