In her forty-seven-year-old career, yesteryear diva, Zeenat Aman sings for the first time in her upcoming web series Love Life & Screw Ups. Interestingly, the lines which she has sung in the song has mentions of dialogues from her previous iconic films.

Initially, Zeenat was very reluctant to sing as she is not a trained singer. In fact, the music director recorded the song with a professional singer. “But I was not satisfied. As this song is an introduction of the persona of Joanna, her character name in the series. And Joanna’s persona is the combination of her memorable, full of life roles like in Yaadon KI Baraat, Heera Panna and Manoranjan. I wanted that nostalgic essence. Somehow, I convinced her to come to the recording studio and just give a try. We promised her that if her voice is not sounding right, we shall not keep her voice and will get it dubbed by another singer. Surprisingly, in her first take itself, the song got okay as her rendition was totally in sur”, says the director Kapil Kaustubh Sharma excitedly.

Composer Nikhil Kamath adds “I was overwhelmed and surprised by the voice quality and energy she has at this age! This song is picturized on Zeenat in various episodes.”

The shoot of the series is complete and the online release is scheduled for this May. In April, it had a world premiere at a prestigious film festival in Poland. The series is a feel-good romantic comedy, targeted for Indian as well as international audience.

It is the first Indian series, in which along with Zeenat, there are various popular names like Mita Vashisht, Dolly Thakore, Yuvraaj Parashar, Diandra Soares, Sonali Raut, Sushant Divgikar, etc. Legendary singer, Bappi Lahiri has sung a song in it. Recently, the trailer of the web series was showcased at the Nashik Film Festival.

Again, it’s for the first time in Bollywood that a web series showcased its trailer at an international film festival. The trailer went online on 4^th April on the YouTube channel Aum Web Studios and has received applauds.
