When listening to the lively melody 'Ainvayi Ainvayi,' every Bollywood music fan is reminded of Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma's incredible energy from 'Band Baaja Baaraat.' The track by the music composer team Salim-Sulaiman, on the other hand, did not sit well with the film's director.
'Band Baaja Baaraat' was Ranveer Singh's debut film, and Anushka's second. Because of its love subject with some masala and drama, the film quickly became a fan favourite.
Sulaiman said, “In Ainvayi Ainvayi, if you hear the whole music production, the whole beat, with the words so creative…” in response to which Salim said, “That song was a reject. The director rejected it. He said, ‘Ye gaana merko nahi samjhta (I don’t get this song).”
Salim went on to say that he had to beg producer Aditya Chopra for help. He said, “It was the director’s first film, actor’s first film. I had to really request the producer because sometimes you just happen to make such songs. A week before, I had gone to a wedding in Delhi, and the afterparty of that wedding had really cool music. So, I thought Band Baaja Baraat should have this kind of music.”
Salim recalled the event and stated, “Fortunately, the producer told the director, ‘I don’t know what is going to happen to your film and your actor, but this song is a hit, let’s go with this song.”
The composer duo also applauded the producer for taking the chance, noting that most filmmakers do not take such a risk and like to play it safe when it comes to making films.
The song released by 'Band Baaja Baaraat' was a hit, and 'Ainvayi Ainvayi' played at every wedding in the 2010s. The film was also a breakthrough for Ranveer Singh, who is now one of Bollywood's major actors.
