Uday Chopra selected the song Are Re Are for Dil Toh Pagal Hai

During a recent interaction with Bollywood Hungama, as the film Dil Toh Pagal Hai starring Shah Rukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit, and Karisma Kapoor marked 26 years after its release recently, Uttam Singh recalled that during the music sittings for the film, he would repeatedly play the tune of Are Re Are for Yash Chopra, Aditya Chopra, Pam Chopra, and others, even though they initially ignored it. However, he loved the tune and continued to suggest it.

He then mentioned that during one of these sittings, Uday Chopra entered the room, and Uttam played the tune for him. He informed Uday that nobody appeared to appreciate it, but he had a strong liking for it, so he encouraged Uday to give it a listen. Uday’s response was enthusiastic, exclaiming, ‘Papa, this is fantastic!’ This statement caught everyone’s attention immediately.

Uttam Singh also revealed that despite receiving approval for the tune, he began to have doubts about it afterward. He thought the tune might not be good. To address his concerns, he called lyricist Anand Bakshi and played the music for him. He added, “He listened and went to the bathroom. He came back and he had the lyrics for Are Re Are.”
