Mumbai, May 29 (NationPress) Playback singer Papon, recognized for hits like ‘Bulleya’, ‘Jiyein Kyun’, and ‘Moh Moh Ke Dhaage’, recently showcased an unreleased track during the launch of ‘Zamaana Lage’ from the forthcoming movie ‘Metro In Dino’ in Mumbai.
This unreleased song remains untitled, reflecting music composer Pritam's spontaneous approach to music creation. The track features poignant lyrics and a soulful melody. Papon also appears in the music video for ‘Zamaana Lage’, playing the guitar and singing alongside Pritam.
Discussing his collaboration with Pritam on this endeavor, Papon revealed he lost track of how many songs he recorded for the film. This isn't Pritam's first time curating such a diverse collection of music; he previously did so for the Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif film ‘Jagga Jasoos’.
Papon shared with IANS, “We have been working together for quite some time, but this time, the emotion was even more intertwined with the visuals, especially with Pritam da. I’ve never filmed so much in my life.”
He further elaborated, “Every day, the script kept evolving. Honestly, I don’t even know how many songs we recorded or which ones I sang! Pritam da would say, ‘Every day, you have to sing a new song.’ It felt like an experiment, a workshop, a space for creativity and enjoyment. It’s a beautiful process, a learning journey. And when you see it all come together, it’s absolutely breathtaking.”
‘Metro In Dino’ is helmed by Anurag Basu and marks another collaboration with his musical partner Pritam, a partnership that began in 2006 with ‘Gangster’.
This film intertwines tales of love and human connections against the vibrant backdrop of urban life, featuring a stellar cast including Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Anupam Kher, Konkona Sen Sharma, and Fatima Sana Shaikh.
The film is slated for release in theaters on July 4, 2025.
