Director Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri will always miss the opportunity to collaborate with the legendary singer, Lata Mangeshkar, who left for heavenly abode on 6th February. The National award winning filmmaker recently revealed how the late veteran singer had agreed to sing a song for his highly-anticipated movie ‘The Kashmir Files’, scheduled to release in theatres on 11th March this year.
While talking to a leading news channel, Vivek was quoted saying, “Lataji brought musical sensibilities to India and through her we understood the meaning of Saraswati. She was close to my wife Pallavi Joshi and we wanted her to sing a song for our forthcoming film, ‘The Kashmir Files’. Last year, we requested her for the same but she told us that she has stopped singing for films or any such commercial ventures, but she loved Kashmir so much that she said she would make it an exception for this film. But she requested us that she will do it after the Covid wave subsides but that just remains a promise.”
