The entertainment world moves fast, and “Video mein Ajay Devgn hai, woh koi pop singer nahin hai”: Shaan recalls Lalit Pandit’s blunt advice while recording Raju Chacha’s ‘Tune Mujhe Pehchana Nahin is the latest development catching everyone's eye. From fans to industry insiders, the reaction has been immediate.

The Story So Far

Add as a preferred source on Google Shaan had a conversation with Komal Nahta about playback singing, his beginnings and a lot more. Shaan began his career as an indipop vocalist and then graduated to playback singing for movies. Pyaar Mein Kabhi (1999) was his first movie followed by Dillagi (1999).

A year later, he sang 'Tune Mujhe Pehchana Nahin' for Raju Chacha (2000). Shaan opened up about his experience while recording the number. Shaan began by saying, "Singers at that time were divided into two – those who were influenced by Mohammed Rafi and those who were influenced by Kishore Kumar.

When I came, there was no precedent of a pop vocalist, at least for male singers. In female singers, Alisha Chinai and Nazia Hasan had made a mark and had introduced fresh style of singing." He pointed out, "There was an advantage as I had a unique take because of my indipop singing. But very early, I learned an important lesson about playback singing.

I realized that playback singing for captures is different." He disclosed, "I had bagged a track in a major movie, Raju Chacha. It was written by Anand Bakshi sahab and he came for auditions. He asked me to sing one line.

I sang 'Deewana Hoon Main, Deewana Nahin'. He asked me the meaning of the line. I said, 'It means that I am mad for you but mentally I am not crazy'.

He liked my answer and replied, ‘Haan, samaj ke gaoge toh maza aayega’!." Shaan then said, "I thought I had to sing in pop style. So, I started singing that way. This is when Lalit Pandit saab asked me, 'Kya kar rahe ho tum?'.

He elaborated to me, 'You are not singing for yourself. You won't be there in the video. Video mein Ajay Devgn hai.

Woh koi pop vocalist nahin hai ki woh aise gaayega. Seedhe notes ko gaao mehsoos karke'!"
