Ship Of Theseus fame music director Rohit Sharma creates a new language for film Shorcut Safaari!

Cinematographer-turned-director, Amitabha Singh roped in music director Rohit Sharma, of Ship Of Theseus fame, to compose the title track of his next Shorcut Safaari, which stars Jimmy Sheirgill and the composer has come up with a rather exciting song for the children's movie.

The title track - Bako Sufu, Bako Sufu not only kick-starts the story but also establishes the mood of the movie and Sharma has not only composed and crooned the fun number but has also created a new language for its lyrics.

The film’s plot follows a group of children off for a vacation, where numerous events unfold and the animated song sets the pace for the movie by telling the story of a kid, stuck in her daily rut of urban life of school and homework, who excitedly gears up for a trip.

Talking about the song Rohit tells, ''I really wanted to keep the sound very basic close to roots and earthy. A child’s life is very simple so the sound of this track had to be kept at basics.  Amitabha did not want a song; he wanted music so I came up with this idea of a coded language. The next thing was to really pen the language to fit the music track. Amitabha encouraged me to sing it also because he felt that since I created this new language, I would be able to sing it well.”

Amitabha Singh told, ''Since the idea was to play with music as opposed to a full blown song, this track has come up really well with its coded language idea. It is very difficult to penetrate into a child’s world, which has a language of its own. Very often you hear kids say- uff you won’t understand this. I wanted to bring that essence out in the song, yet set a pre cursor to the story. Rohit’s idea of a coded language really worked and since he created this language, so who else could really sing it other than him?"

Rohit further added, ''I got this idea of a muffled up language from the early morning squabbles between my wife and kid. I would listen to it half asleep and it would appear like some sort of an animated gibberish to me.  The daily tug of war between my wife who would try waking up our kid and the child’s resistance to wake up really is the basis of this language."
