Mumbai, March 7 (NationPress) Renowned filmmaker Mozez Singh, celebrated for his works like "Zubaan" and "Human", ventured into documentary filmmaking with "Yo Yo Honey Singh: Famous".
He took to social media to express how the documentary transformed his storytelling approach.
Mozez stated, "The first thing that changed in me was the idea of letting go because coming from fiction, I am a very planned person - I work in a very structured manner. In this film, I could not be a lot of those things. I did not have a script, things were subject to change, so there was a lot of letting go which was very liberating."
He further noted that collaborating with a smaller crew yielded unexpected benefits. The closeness of a compact team fostered deeper, more personal connections. Reflecting on this unique experience, Mozez expressed, "I learned to work with a smaller crew and that came with its own blessings and challenges. It was a kind of different way of making film. It brought me closer to who I am and made me discover a part of myself I didn’t know existed.”
Regarding the documentary, Honey Singh mentioned, “For years, there have been countless conjectures about me in the media, and I have never really shared my side of the story. This documentary is the right opportunity to tell my story. My fans have always stood by me, even in my absence, and for that, I am eternally grateful. This docu-film on Netflix goes beyond the spotlight to reveal the real me, the highs, the lows, and everything in between. I'm excited to finally share my journey with the world.”
The documentary provides an insight into Yo Yo Honey Singh’s ascent as a trailblazer of desi hip-hop and Punjabi pop music in India, the adversities that led him to a hiatus, and his battle to reclaim his place in the music industry.
It chronicles his journey from rapid fame to sudden absence and subsequent challenges, leading to his resurgence in mainstream music.
