If
it"s
a
Shahid
Kapoor
film,
there
must
be
some
heavy
duty
dancing.
Or,
so
it
seems,
going
by
the
way
the
music
in
his
father"s
directorial
debut
Mausam,
it
has
been
moulded
to
accommodate
Shahid"s
dancing
shoes.
According
to
a
source
very
close
to
the
project,
the
film"s
aesthetically-inclined
director
Pankaj
Kapoor
had
initially
planned
an
exclusive
heavily
melody-based
music
score
based
on
ragas.
In
fact,
Pritam
Chakraborty,
who's
doing
the
music
score
in
Mausam,
has
just
recorded
a
raga-based
love
melody
in
the
voice
of
Rashid
Khan.
Pritam
says,
“It
was
meant
to
be
only
a
small
music
piece.
But
when
Pankaj-ji
heard
the
tune,
he
wanted
it
as
a
full-fledged
song."
Pritam
admits
the
music
in
Mausam
would
be
heavily
melodious
in
the
tradition
of
the
great
love
stories
down
the
ages
from
Bobby
to
Love
Story
to
Ek
Duuje
Ke
Liye
to
Saawariya.
But
now,
just
days
after
Pritam
recorded
the
raga-based
number,
comes
the
news
that
a
specially-designed
dance
track
will
be
put
together
for
Mausam.
A
source
close
to
the
project,
who
doesn"t
want
to
be
named
says,
“There
was
a
closed-door
meeting
between
the
producers,
the
director
and
Shahid
Kapoor.
It
was
unanimously
decided
that
there
would
be
a
very
unique
song-and-dance.
It
was
felt
that
Mausam
was
too
expensive
a
project
to
make
it
seem
even
slightly
experimental
in
flavour."
The
film"s
producer,
Sheetal
Talwar,
says,
“We
don"t
want
to
disappoint
Shahid"s
target
audience,
the
young
fans.
So
yes,
Shahid
will
dance
after
all."
Shahid"s
buddy
Ahmed
Khan
is
now
busy
trying
to
accommodate
the
dance
into
his
crammed
diary.
He
has
no
choice.
Shahid
has
to
dance.
