Lata Mangeshkar sings for Kareena Kapoor


Way back in 2006, Lata Mangeshkar had recorded a song for Madhur Bhandarkar's "Corporate".
After recording the song, the director and the composer had felt that it was best to store and use it for a different movie. This song will now be used in "Heroine" and will have Mangeshkar singing to Kareena Kapoor's lips.
Says composer Shameer Tandon, "I recorded the song titled "Kyun yahan hota hai/Jo yahan hota hai" when Madhur was making "Corporate".
The lyrics were penned by Sandeep Nath. However, when we finished recording, we felt the song would be more suited for some other Madhur movie. That's why we kept it on hold. Now, we have decided to use it for Kareena in "Heroine"."
The recording of this song has been interestingly done too. "Three days before the number was supposed to be recorded, Lataji went to a Mumbai studio. I was in Singapore then when she called me up and said that she wanted to record it. I had to dub her voice from Singapore and was on the phone for over an hour while she recorded it in a Mumbai studio," Shameer says. The composer says that Mangeshkar is happy that the song is being used in a relevant place. As aparting shot, he says, "Lataji is ecstatic since she loves the idea of having the song used for a correct sequence where it is relevant."
