“As times are changing, story-telling is becoming a big challenge. We would like to reach out meaningful content to the audience with simplicity and what better way to convey it than through music. Music is the live wire that connects us humans to our inner deeper self and it touches a chord in our hearts. All the songs in this album have been meticulously selected by me after listening to many numbers. The first two songs, RUK and MANZOOR, are sung by Raja Hasan Sagar in his mellifluous voice. Lathaji who heard the songs was very impressed by Raja’s singing. I’m delighted to be working with my favorite
DoP Shakeel Sir and the beautiful, Rimi Sen. It was a pleasure working with them and to Rimi for trusting me with her comeback.” says Prerna Arora.
Smt. Latha Rajinikanth Ji, through this platform, is leading her mission for us to create value and contribute to society through music, art and culture. The upcoming season is an epitome of her vision.
Latha ji says, “Having grown up in an artistic family with parents, sister, brother, and later my extended family. My husband… All being wonderful singers, instrumentalists, dancers, and actors. It was only natural for me to be creatively inclined. I was a singer from my kindergarten days and composed music and wrote lyrics for my songs and albums. But from the beginning, I always felt that in our creative world there must be an underlying cause. It can be a message or social awareness on children and the needy in our society that can make us feel satisfied with our work. Also through our creative work, we can contribute to the welfare of the underprivileged, especially of children, which I have taken up. Also, let’s make creativity purposeful by encouraging many hidden talents & skills by providing a platform and opportunity as this also contributes to the lives of many who are waiting for help. In this process, I would also like to contribute through my music to this cause I welcome all of you to join me to give back to the society that has given us much happiness through our art.”
Rimi thrilled of her comeback says, “Thank you to Prerna for giving me this chance to work with her. She is a wonderful director to work with. I would also like to thank Smt Latha Rajnikanth ji for contributing towards various cause for children & women, social messages & testimony, that leaves a message to the society and contributes to the awesome musical in Season 1. This is first time ever a music video is compiled & presented, as a series of 8 musical journeys in Season 1, which will hold a social message & will pierce the hearts of the listeners and spark a light.”
Rang De Season 1 will create its magic through the 8 singles and will soon begin work on the sequel in Season 2.
