Himesh Reshammiya shoots his dard-e-dil

Himesh Reshammiya and Shweta Kumar shot for a song for Satish Kaushik's Karzzzz last week at one of South Africa's exotic resort destinations, Emperor's Palace, in Johannesburg. Producer Bhushan Kumar of T-Series says, "We shot our version of Karz's Dard-E-Dil (it's called Tera Chehra Jab Se Dekha in Karzzzz). In the original, Rishi Kapoor sang the song to Tina Munim at a party. The ambience is similar but the lyrics are different - more lively and in sync with today's times. Farah Khan's assistant, Piyush is choreographing the song and Sameer is the lyricist."

Talking about the song Bhushan adds, "Tera chehra... is a very romantic song where Himesh sees the girl (Shweta Kumar) for the first time. It's going to be one of the most expensive songs we have ever shot and will cost over a crore. It needed a magnificent and expensive looking location. Most of the film will be shot in South Africa and later in Mumbai. Himesh has grown his hair and has lost weight for Karzzzz and cuts a dashing figure."

Talking from Jo'burg Himesh says, "I am having a blast shooting for the song. Dard-e-Dil is one of my all-time favourite songs. I have tried to keep the emotion of the original composition intact in my new one. The music of Karzzzz has turned out as per my satisfaction. I can say with confidence that I will be able to satisfy my fans. Especially, since they will be hearing my voice and music after almost a year with this track of mine."
