Actress Tannishtha Chatterjee has not only sung in Dev Benegal's forthcoming film Road, Movie but also composed a song inspired by Rajasthani construction workers.
"I have sung in my films before, but this was some kind of special thing. It wasn't meant to be...it wasn't there in the script as I remember. There was a dance and I was dancing on it but since Dev knew me from my girl band (days), he asked me to sing," Tannishtha said after the first look of Road, Movie here.
"The best part of it is I didn't record the song and lip-synced in front of the camera. I sang the song live while shooting for that sequence," she said.
Tannishtha, who earned international acclaim with Brick Lane, says she was able to compose the song borrowing tunes from some Rajasthani folk music she had heard in her childhood that still lingers in her mind.
