Ahmed Khan on Shah Rukh Khan’s Chaand Taare song
He shared how they shot the song on the streets of Bandstand and said,” When I was shooting Chaand Tare, it was a very inspirational song. The song meant a lot to me, Shah Rukh Khan, Jatin Lalit and many youngsters who were involved in it. Javed ji wrote it like a young boy who wants to achieve a lot in life like everything he wants but then it is Bas Itna Sa Khawab Hain. So when I had planned the song I wanted to capture that he is a normal guy in the streets of Mumbai but whatever he is doing he is thinking big. We were shooting with kids and all various cartoon characters, so the song was a double beat and I suggested Jatin Lalit make it a single beat and they took it so positively.”
He further continued,”Once we were shooting in Bandstand and we were shooting outside Mannat but it was not Mannat then & I still remember I made Shah Rukh jump on a Parsi’s vehicle and something went wrong and & the guard said us to move ahead and I remember Shah Rukh Khan telling me shot lena hain Khareed lu kya and I said him Yes buy it and then we will shoot nicely here. So it made me realize that whenever you say something you should say the best thing and it always happens and today also if you see the song Mannat is there.”
