The producer had clearly refused to record, then how Salman Khan’s insistence made this 90s song a ‘cult classic’

The 90s was the golden era of the Indian music industry which gave us many evergreen and spiritual songs. Even today, even after 35 years, the magic of the songs of that period still resonates with the audience. But do you know that a very famous song from one of the most blockbuster romantic films of the 90s was never going to be recorded? Yes, the producer of the film had directly refused to include this song in his film. If at that time the ‘Dabangg’ of Bollywood i.e. Salman Khan had not come in between and was not adamant on his insistence, then perhaps this beautiful song would have been lost somewhere in the pages of history and the fans would never have been able to hear it.

That magical song from the film ‘Saajan’, which created a stir in the hearts of lovers as soon as it was released.

The cult classic song we are talking about here is the very romantic and popular song ‘Dekha Hai Pehli Baar’ from the 1991 superhit film ‘Saajan’. This beautiful and heart-touching song was romantically shot on Bollywood superstar Salman Khan and Dhak Dhak girl Madhuri Dixit. This song was composed by music maestro Alka Yagnik and great singer S.P. Balasubramaniam had adorned it with his magical voices. The music of the film was composed by the famous duo Nadeem-Shravan, while its soulful lyrics were written by famous lyricist Sameer Anjaan. Even after 35 years, this song remains equally popular among today’s generation.

Lyricist Sameer Anjaan’s big revelation – Producer had said ‘Now we do not have time and budget’

The very interesting and unheard story behind the making of this superhit song has been revealed by the famous lyricist Sameer Anjaan himself in a recent interview. Sameer Anjaan told that when the tune and lyrics of this song were ready, the producers of the film were not at all ready to record it. The producer said, "Man, our picture is completely complete. Now we have neither extra budget nor time." However, composer Nadeem liked the song and its tune so much that he decided to make this song a part of the film at any cost.

The release date was fixed and it was impossible to meet Salman-Madhuri’s dates, then the real miracle happened.

Sameer Anjaan further told in the interview that the producer had expressed his helplessness in front of Nadeem and said that the official release date of the film has been completely fixed and at this last moment, it is absolutely impossible to get the dates of busy stars like Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit for the shooting of new songs. After this, when this matter reached Salman Khan, as soon as he heard the tune of this song, he clearly told the producer that this song will become the life of the film. Salman Khan not only immediately gave his dates for the song, but also convinced the producer to record it. Due to this intervention and wisdom of Salman Khan, this song was recorded and created history as soon as it was released.
