‘Ishtam’ music video featured the pair of Vivek Dahiya and South actress Anaira Gupta. The song is produced by TV actress Surabhi Chandana.
Surabhi is traveling from acting to production. This was a new experience for him. In a conversation with Dainik Bhaskar, Surabhi said that the process of becoming a producer was not easy. He said that whatever he learned on the set, he is working today.
During the conversation, Surabhi also told that working with Vivek was in her wishlist.
At the same time, Vivek and Anaira also shared their excitements related to this music video. He also told some funny stories of shooting. Read some major parts of the conversation:
The specialty of the song and the Mix of Rajasthani-South Culture
The specialty of this song for Surabhi is its fusion. She says, ‘Malayalam and South Culture have been mixed very beautifully. It has a boy who is from Rajasthan and has been mixed with the best of Visuals and Music of South. The lyrics of the song are half in Malayalam. There is a temper of Hindi and Rajasthani in the rest.
Apart from this, live instruments have also been used in this song, which give separate touch to Rajasthani and South elements.
Experience and learning process to become a producer
Surabhi Describing his journey to become a producer as challenging, he said, ‘It was not easy to become a producer at all. There is no fixed path in this, learning something new at every step and sometimes fighting itself. In acting, only one has to prove itself in front of the camera, but after becoming a producer, the responsibility of every small and big thing comes on your shoulders. Whatever I learned on television sets in years, the same has emerged as my biggest strength. This journey is giving me a chance to understand myself afresh.
She also considers the experience of working with Vivek and Anaira as special. He said, “I want to thank these two, because working with them happened without any complaint despite a very tight schedule.”
In addition, Surabhi also thanked her husband Karan, who always inspired her. Surabhi says, “There is still a lot to learn, but whatever you have learned, a book can also be written.”
Anayara’s excitement to join the song
Anyara was quite excited about joining the song. She says, ‘When Surabhi’s message came, I became very happy. Last year, their marriage was very much discussed and I liked it very much. I used to like him beforehand, especially seeing his performance in ‘Kabul Hai’.
Anayara further said, ‘As soon as her message came, I immediately responded, and our meeting took place the next day. When I heard the song, I said, ‘I have to do this, if I don’t, I will be the biggest fool.’
Conscience experience and funny moment of shooting
Vivek tells about the shooting of the song, “The one who is always remembering was the first day when the break took place. The food that came from outside, was so tasty, was so tremendous, I still get his test sometimes.
Every moment is special because when you work with good people, every minute you spend at the location, it is like a blessing. I told them – man, in 5 minutes we have made, now we make one hour and 25 minutes.
Aspires to work with Vivek and the magic of chemistry
Surabhi said about the desire to work with Vivek, ‘I know Vivek for a long time. While I was doing ‘Ishqbaaz’, our pair caught everyone’s attention at an award function. At that time Vivek was part of another show. I felt that our chemistry could be very special. From the same day I thought that whenever I get a chance, I will definitely share the screen with Vivek. His performance and his presence on the screen was everything perfect. Eventually that dream is finally fulfilled.
The chance to work behind the camera and the reason for stopping yourself
Surabhi decided to work behind the camera instead of casting herself in this song. She says, ‘I could have been a little selfish by casting myself with Vivek in this song, but I stopped myself. I thought I wanted a platform where I could not just work in front of the camera, but also behind the camera. ‘ Surabhi told that this time she deliberately took a chance to work with new people, with whom he had never worked before.
Further planning and focus on YouTube
Surabhi said about her future plans, ‘I want my music division’ feel good original ‘slowly go into auto pilot mode. My focus is on YouTube, as it is a very large platform.
Vivek keeps telling me how big a market is on YouTube. We also discuses some ideas, in which something special should be done by bringing new talent. I have to tell small shows and stories, but there is a lot to learn now, it is just the beginning, a very long way. ‘
