Sunidhi Chauhan struggled over ‘Sanju’ song

Bollywood playback singer Sunidhi Chauhan says the Main Badhiya Tu Bhi Badhiya song for Sanju captures the era of retro music, and that it was tough for her to get the tone right.

“My voice is different. I do not have that nasal voice. So I found it little difficult to sing, but that was the challenge I took on,” she said.

Composers Rohan-Rohan — comprising Rohan Gokhale and Rohan Pradhan — who have previously worked in the Marathi film industry, made their Bollywood debut with the song.

While working for director Rajkumar Hirani was a dream come true for them, they were impressed by the movie’s lead actor Ranbir Kapoor’s involvement.

“He used to be with us during the studio session at times, just to hear the song... how it is growing. If we were changing anything of the lyrics or a tune, he would listen to it and respond. He was quite involved and liked the song,” said Gokhale.

The duo were shocked to receive a call from Hirani’s team to work on the movie — a biopic on the life of actor Sanjay Dutt.

“Who does not want to work with a legend like him? It is such a huge film and the song that we composed is very different. We got a chance to try something different,” said Gokhale.

Rohan-Rohan have earlier composed songs for Indian National Award-winning Ventilator, which was produced by Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra.

They also composed songs for Madhuri Dixit’s first Marathi movie Bucket List.
