Saiyami Kher Fulfils Wish To Collaborate With Swanand Kirkire

MUMBAI -Actors Saiyami Kher and Gulshan Devaiah have joined hands once again as they feature in an upcoming soulful romantic music video titled ‘Aise Na Humko’, composed by celebrated lyricist-composer Swanand Kirkire.

Sharing her excitement, Saiyami said she has always admired Kirkire’s work and hoped to collaborate with him. “I have always been a fan of Swanand’s work and wanted to do something with him. I truly feel he is a treasure and so incredibly gifted — such a fantastic writer, actor, and now a composer. It’s incredible how much one man can do.”

The actress is also happy to work again with Gulshan, with whom she was previously seen in ‘8 A.M. Metro’. “I was so happy when Gulshan agreed to come on board because we’ve worked together on ‘8 A.M. Metro’ and I share a certain comfort with him. He’s such a sport and wonderful to work with.”

Gulshan described the collaboration as a creative continuation rather than a conventional reunion. He shared, “I loved working with Saiyami, loved spending time with her, and getting to know her over ‘Glitch’ and ‘8 A.M. Metro’. Some people are just really nice to be around and she is one of them. We have a wonderful camaraderie and onscreen chemistry. I jumped at the opportunity of creating something along with her again. That’s it… it’s that simple.”

The music video has been shot exclusively in Nashik, with key portions filmed at Saiyami Kher’s farm stay, lending the visuals an organic and deeply personal charm. “We shot at my farm stay in Nashik, it felt like utopia and made the experience even more special,” Saiyami added. Choosing real locations over stylized sets allowed the emotions and lyrics of the song to unfold naturally.

Kirkire has earlier won the National Film Award for Best Lyrics twice. He received the honour in 2006 for the song ‘Bande Me Tha Dum… Vande Mataram’ from the film ‘Lage Raho Munna Bhai’, and again in 2009 for the song ‘Behti Hawa Sa Tha Woh’ from the film ‘3 Idiots’. (IANS)
