Aashiq Banaya Aapne (2005), which completed 20 years, is remembered not just for its chartbuster song but also the sensual picturization of the title song, featuring Emraan Hashmi and Tanushree Dutta. The song left a huge impact on the audience and even today, it continues to get a high number of YouTube views (along with ‘Today’s kids will never understand the level of risk we took to watch such songs at home’ type comments!). As Aashiq Banaya Aapne completed 20 years, Bollywood Hungama exclusively spoke with its director, Aditya Datt, about the shooting of the title song and a lot more.
20 Years of Aashiq Banaya Aapne EXCLUSIVE: Aditya Datt explains the thought process behind the SIZZLING title song: “We made sure that Tanushree Dutta was comfortable…we were NOT trying to be sleazy or cheap; we were simply trying to be passionate”
When asked about the thought process behind having such visuals in the song, Aditya Datt explained, “The biggest point is that as a director, you can’t exploit the actors or actresses. You need to understand certain factors like the reason why it needs to be so intense, why we are pushing the envelope that much, and what the aesthetics are in your mind. Of course, different people have different aesthetic parameters. So, even though it was a bold song, the fact is that the song needed that kind of intensity for it to hit the audience. At the same time, if you see every frame we created in that song, you could see that we were not trying to be sleazy or cheap; we were simply trying to be passionate.”
Aditya Datt continued, “We spoke to Emraan and we spoke to Tanushree. We made sure that she was comfortable. There was a certain isolation made for her comfort. Her team was present throughout. We didn’t have an intimacy director as the concept didn’t exist then. However, we were self-aware of what we were doing. The actor also gauges the vibe. They could understand the intention. Also, during the time of edit, we didn’t put in things without the actors’ knowledge.”
The pleasant surprise was that Aashiq Banaya Aapne didn’t get any cuts from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Aditya revealed, “We got the ‘A’ certificate. They didn’t ask for any cuts. Since we said that we are accepting ‘A’, I guess they didn’t make changes. Honestly, I don’t remember if there were cuts or not. Back then, they were more linear. The tolerance level of people was also much higher. Right now, they are very touchy about everything.”
