Mumbai, January 9, 2025: Nakash Aziz ended 2024 on a high by crooning the title track of Allu Arjun-starrer Pushpa 2: The Rule. And now he has begun 2025 also on a big note with the song Loveyapa Ho Gaya. Starring Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor, the track from the upcoming film Loveyapa is being loved for its freshness and depiction of gen-z love. But for Nakash, it’s also like a full circle moment.
“The first song I ever performed was Papa Kehte Hain (from Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak) for my school annual day in Aurangabad. I fell in love with Udit Narayan’s voice for Aamir Khan in the film and it increased the impact of the overall experience of watching QSQT on the big screen as a three-and-a-half-year-old kid. Never did I even dream of singing for Aamir Khan, until I got the opportunity to do so for Thugs Of Hindostan’s Telugu version,” Nakash shares, adding that with Aamir having announced that he might be retiring from acting soon, he felt the chances of doing playback for him were dwindling.
“I felt very sad because he is one actor whose films always leave me speechless and I wanted to sing for him. However, as God had planned it, now I had the opportunity that through the brilliant and new age music of Sachin-Jigar and the words of my partner in crime and innovation Amitabh Bhattacharya, I have sung for Junaid and I’m feeling quite pleased with this one,” the singer gushes.
Talking about bringing the freshness and naughtiness in the song, Nakash shares, “I got a call from Sachin-Jigar’s studio while I was in Goa for a show and they asked me if I could sing this song. They felt it required a lot of vocal arrangements, along with a lot of masti and madness. The moment I heard the track, I was excited to try all kinds of new things. I got right to it and really enjoyed working on this one. I recorded this in parts and we converted my hotel room into a studio and jammed all night in Goa and then also in my studio in Mumbai.”
