Sajid Khan’s Rs. 2 crore song in ‘Humshakals’

Sajid Khan has apparently spent a huge Rs. 2 crore for the much talked about song ‘Piya Ka Bazaar’ in ‘Humshakals’ – making it one of the most expensive songs ever in Bollywood.

A source told India Express, ���It was an open budget for the song, it�۪s as simple as that. ��Piya Ka Bazaar�۪ appears in the film�۪s climax and it is special since it features the entire cast of the film. The song has an out and out Indian set up to it and is set in a celebratory mode.�۝

���A huge set was mounted in Mumbai with as many as 500 background dancers. This is the largest ensemble that Sajid has ever gathered for a song in a film of his,�۝ the source adds, ���Moreover, it is a known fact that producer Vashu Bhagnani is a huge supporter of commercial music ingredients in his films. He gave more than what was asked from him when it came to the making of the song. So right from the art design to the costumes to the lighting to the multiple camera set up and most importantly the days required for the shoot, Vashuji and Sajid wanted to make sure that ��Piya Ka Bazaar�۪ was a highlight of the film.�۝

Sajid refused to divulge on the costs of the song.

Saif Ali Khan, Riteish Deshmukh, Ram Kapoor, Tamannaah Bhatia, Bipasha Basu and Esha Gupta feature in ‘Piya Ka Bazaar’.
