Much-admired filmmaker Prakash Jha is known for making
hard-hitting and relevant movies on many social issues and this time, he is
exploring the relationship between police and the society with his forthcoming
directorial venture Jai Gangaajal.
Music has always played a very important role in Jha's movies
but, this time instead of using a powerful background score, the National
Award-winning filmmaker has used earthy folk songs to take the screenplay of
his movie to the next level. Believe it or not, the movie will have twelve
songs composed by Salim-Sulaiman!
Talking about the film's music, Prakash Jha told, ''You will
be very surprised to know that my film has twelve songs. They have been
composed by Salim-Sulaiman and all them are very beautiful and earthy.''
Salim Merchant revealed, ''Prakash ji told us that he wants
to adorn each sequence, be it action or emotional, with a song. We were very
surprised at his request and wondered how we will do it. Music has always been
an integral part of Prakash ji's films but this time he wanted songs instead of
a background score. It's a very new and interesting treatment.''
Sulaiman Merchant further added, ''It's always a unique
experience to work with Prakash Jha because he always takes us to an
experimental stage. Our film's music is very funky folk as we have presented
popular folk songs in a very modern way and the end result is fantastic."
Award-winning lyricist Manoj Muntashir, who is known for his
work in hits like Baahubali, PK and Baby to name a few, has penned the lyrics
of the film. Disco King Bappi Lahiri has also lent his voice to one of the
songs of the film. The trailer of the movie has received double thumbs up from
both the audiences and the critics and one can hear the song 'uttar bhaag le'
sung by Sukhwinder Singh in its background, which infuses a new life in all the
scenes of the trailer.
Written and directed by Prakash Jha, produced by Prakash Jha
Productions and Play Entertainment and co-produced by Milind Dabke, Jai
Gangaajal revisits the dusty heartland of Central India and examines the
society–police relationship. Starring Priyanka Chopra, the movie is all set to
release on 4th March, 2016. Jai Gangaajal is not a prequel or a sequel to Ajay
Devgn starrer Gangaajal but is a fresh story.
