"While re-recording the songs from mono to Dolby, I felt this film was taking on a new life. I got an orchestra from Chennai and did re-recording in nine days for Rs 26 lakhs! If you hear this music in theatres, you will be amazed. It is the same music but the sound quality is different.
I am grateful to music director Uttam Singh and his son, who agreed to work with me and did a fabulous job. I have a pain in my knees and cannot speak much because of my age, but all of us as a team have done a good job. I only hope the people love our work.
I am sure my fans, those who made me, will love it. I hope today's generation also likes it.
These are real classical songs! We used Raag Darbari and Raag Durga, which have touched peoples' hearts. It is unfortunate our countrymen have forgotten Indian classical music."
