Om Shanti Om: Farah Khan has shared an interesting story about the song "Dard-e-Disco" from the film "Om Shanti Om." The song became a hit as soon as it was released.
Shah Rukh Khan's film "Om Shanti Om" was released on this day in 2007. The Farah Khan-directed film proved to be a big hit. The song "Dard-e-Disco" from this movie also gained immense popularity. Recently, Farah Khan shared an interesting story related to this song.
In a conversation with the Take Two podcast, Farah Khan revealed that the strange lyrics for the song "Dard-e-Disco" were written by lyricist Javed Akhtar. She explained that Javed Akhtar often delays things. Sometimes we would wait for days for him to write two lines and give them to us. However, to write this song, I enlisted the help of his rival, Gulzar. I simply told him to write like Gulzar. After that, he wrote "Dard-e-Disco" within five minutes.
Javed Akhtar also spoke about this song. He told the Cyrus Sage podcast that Farah had asked him to write strange lyrics. The situation of the song was very strange. Akhtar admitted, "For the first time, I realized that writing lyrics with unclear pronunciation is very difficult."
