Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 release and box office collection LIVE Updates: The Kartik Aaryan starrer takes off to a strong start with Rs 9.14 crore collection from early shows

‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ title song brought me to Bollywood: Neeraj Shridhar

Singer Neeraj Shridhar says he gave back-to-back hits for films such as “Race”, “Love Aaj Kal”, and “Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani”, but it is the title track of “Bhool Bhulaiyaa” to which he owes his success in Bollywood. The singer, also the lead vocalist of Indian pop and rock group Bombay Vikings which was formed in Sweden in the early 1990s, has recreated the popular song for the upcoming film “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3”.
Shridhar sang the original song, composed by Pritam and penned by Sameer, for 2007’s “Bhool Bhulaiyaa” directed by Priyadarshan.

“When I sang the original, I was not used to singing Bollywood songs a lot. I had sung many songs for films like ‘Heyy Babyy’. Then, I did three songs for ‘Love Aaj Kal’ like ‘Chor Bazari’, ‘Aahun Aahun’, and ‘Twist’. There was ‘Race’. I also sang ‘Prem Ki Naiyya’ from ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani’…

“But none of the songs had come out when ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ happened. All of a sudden, most of these songs came out around the same time. I owe it to this song (‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’). It brought me to Bollywood,” the singer told PTI in an interview.

Shridhar, who has collaborated with American rapper Pitbull and Punjabi singing star Diljit Dosanjh for the “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3” title track, still remembers the first time T-Series head and producer Bhushan Kumar approached him to lend his vocals to the original song.

The singer said just months after he recorded the title song for the 2006 comedy “Bhagam Bhag” for T-Series, Kumar told him that he would get a call from Pritam.

“Pritam also loved my music for Bombay Vikings. We clicked together right from the beginning. I was really excited because by then I had got the knack of singing in front of a lot of people in a studio. Bhushan bhai and Sameer bhai were there; it was like a concert in the studio.”

Shridhar said he had to sing the song again because there was “some issue with the audio files”.

“It was finally recorded at Pritam’s studio. It was one of the first songs to be recorded there.”

The singer said he didn’t anticipate the “Bhool Bhulaiyaa” title track would go on to become a chartbuster.
