When Shabana Azmi Did Playback Singing…

  • IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,October 19 2006]

Shabana Azmi is a class actor with several National and International Awards to her name. But one role she always wanted to do was re-enacting the part played by Shaukat Kaifi in Muzaffar Ali’s ‘Umrao Jaan’. She got that opportunity when her friend JP Dutta decided to present another version of novelist Rusva’s ‘Umrao Jaan Ada’. Shabana herself admits that she gave no option to JP Dutta except herself for fitting into her mother’s shoes.

During the gala music launch of ‘Umrao Jaan’ Shabana came along with her mother Shaukat Kaifi. She also admitted that it was an exciting moment for her to replay a part immortalized by her mother. Shabana had earlier acted in a film ‘Anjuman’ directed by Muzaffar Ali which was also based in Lucknow. And this is her second film to have been based in Avadh culture. Shabana had also sung all the songs in ‘Anjuman’. Music was given by veteran composer Khayyam. And I am sure not too many people would be aware about that bit of information. That’s what makes your tryst with IndiaGlitz so special. You get to learn a lot many new things that you had never imagined. Stay tuned for more….
