The kind of films or roles that Irrfan Khan has done in the past rarely warranted for the actor to hum a song. But that’s not the case with his next film, Dam Damaa Dam.
The kind of films or roles that Irrfan Khan has done in the past rarely warranted for the actor to hum a song. But that’s not the case with his next film, Dam Damaa Dam. For the first time in his career, the actor has lip-synced to a song—written by Irshad Kamil and composed by Vishal Bhardwaj.
“If you look closely, I am still not in sync,” says the actor adding, “The song addresses various issues, is hard-hitting and we want it to grow on people. I have never been a part of music sittings before for my films, but this time I got a chance to do that.”
His wife Sutapa, a co-producer for the project seems to agree with her husband’s self-criticism. “I don’t think he has done it well,” she adds with a chuckle.
As for the director, Nishikant Kamat, he feels differently. “Irrfan told me that this was the first time he was lip syncing for a movie. I was quite surprised to know this because throughout the process, not for a second did it look like this was his first time. We are all extremely happy with how the song has turned out and we have been receiving a lot of positive response for it.”
