As reported in DNA, a source close to the actress said, “She plays a popular singer in the film and a fan of Lata. You can’t escape Lata’s influence if you’re playing a singer.”
For the film, producer Prernaa Arora has been trying to acquire the rights for a few ofLata’s famous melodies.
“Apart from a few original tracks, Aishwarya will also recreate a few of Lata’s numbers. That isn’t the film’s only connection with Lata. Anil Kapoor’s daughter, who plays an aspiring singer, is named Lata,” said the source according to the report.
When told the same to Lata, she replied,“It is good to hear that she is fond of my singing. I think I sang for her for the first time in Mohabbatein. The song 'Humko Humhi Se Chura Lo' was a hit. It’s a beautiful melody and Aishwarya looked lovely lip-syncing it.”
