"Agg
Lage
Aaj
Kal
De
Fashion
Nu"
-
Now
that's
yet
another
chartbuster
track
by
Pritam.
From
the
film
Haal-E-Dil
which
introduces
three
new
faces
-
Nakuul
Mehta,
Amita
Pathak
and
Adhyayan,
this
number
sang
by
Labh
Janjua
and
Hard
Kaur
has
English,
Hindi
and
Punjabi
lyrics
and
has
some
great
club
rhythm
in
motion.
But
are
you
aware
that
this
song
was
first
offered
to
Shahid
Kapoor
who
had
refused
it
since
he
didn't
really
feel
that
it
had
good
enough
potential
to
become
a
national
rage?
Confirms
a
source
attached
to
Haal-E-Dil,
"Yes,
Pritam
had
composed
"Agg
Lage
Aaj
Kal
De
Fashion
Nu" for
Shahid's
upcoming
film
Kismat
Konnection
keeping
in
mind
the
young
and
cool
image
that
the
Jab
We
Met
star
carries.
However,
Shahid
wasn't
too
convinced
and
requested
Pritam
to
compose
something
else.
The
composer
did
oblige
and
did
come
up
with
some
other
smash
hit
numbers
that
would
soon
be
heard
in
Kismat
Konnection."
Talking
about
the
placement
of
the
same
song
in
Haal-E-Dil,
the
source
divulges,
"All
this
while
Pritam
hadn't
forgotten
"Fashion".
He
was
attached
to
the
song
and
knew
its
worth.
This
was
the
time
when
Bhushan
Kumar
too
was
looking
for
a
song
to
be
included
in
Haal-E-Dil.
Though
he
was
aware
that
Anand
Raj
Anand,
Vishal
Bhardwaj
and
Raghav
Sachar
had
done
a
good
job
with
their
respective
songs
in
the
Kumar
Mangat
film,
he
was
still
on
a
lookout
for
that
sure
shot
chartbuster
song
which
could
propel
album
sales
overnight."
"Since
Pritam
has
made
many
a
hit
numbers
for
T-Series
in
the
past,
Bhushan
didn't
hesitate
in
approaching
the
composer",
reveals
the
source,
"He
asked
Pritam
if
he
could
create
a
dance
number
in
a
jiffy
and
the
young
composer
was
more
than
happy
to
hand
him
over
"Fashion".
Bhushan
took
an
immediate
liking
to
the
song
and
soon
Nakuul,
Amita
and
Adhyayan
were
summoned
on
the
sets
to
shoot
for
the
dance
number.
Rest,
as
they
say,
is
history."
Well,
looking
at
the
kind
of
popularity
that
"Fashion" is
gaining,
one
wonders
if
Shahid
Kapoor
is
ruining
the
missed
opportunity.
With
due
respect
to
the
three
newcomers,
one
thing
is
for
sure
that
if
Shahid
would
have
danced
to
this
Pritam's
tune,
it
would
have
been
a
different
experience
altogether
for
the
viewers!
