Superstar Aamir Khan and
film-maker Rajkumar Hirani launched the first song of their upcoming biggie PK
at a multiplex in Noida on Saturday.
Aamir was at his cordial best,
patiently obliging the media shutterbugs, but his heroine Anushka Sharma and
co-star Sushant Singh Rajput were kept away from this phase of the film's
promotion.
The song in question, Tharki
chhokro, is a peppy folk number with Rajasthani strains, and struck a chord
with those present at the launch. Ajay-Atul, who shot to fame as the composers
of Agneepath, have composed the song penned by Swanand Kirkire.
A highlight of the evening was
Swaroop Khan, who has sung the number. He turned up wearing an elaborate
colourful Rajasthani turban, which he teamed with a designer jacket and denim
pants to complete a fusion statement in style.
The budding Rajasthani folk
singer seemed clearly excited about his number being the first song to be
launched as part of promotions of such a big film.
Swaroop had become a national
sensation on Indian Idol season 5 when he impressed the audience and judges
alike. Singing in an Aamir film, Swaroop felt, was a dream come true.
Hirani, who makes his official
debut as a producer with this film, was all praise for Ajay-Atul. He recalled
how a song the duo had composed for a Marathi film actually caught his
attention, which is why he offered them this film. Tharki chhokro is a fun
number picturised on Aamir and Sanjay Dutt, who has a cameo in the film.
Dutt, who was the star of
Hirani's Munna Bhai films, was clearly missed by the director.
Hirani is in fact making a
biopic on the life of Sanjay Dutt next, which will star Ranbir Kapoor as
the actor whose life has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride in turmoil.
