“Music plays an important part in my films. I always think of scenes and sequences keeping songs in mind. The music always takes a story forward and more so in HNY because a lot of the story has been told through songs. I have to thank Irshad Bhai (Kamil), Vishal-Shekhar and all the singers for doing such a fantastic job. Shah Rukh is a great inspiration for making music because he has a record of great songs down the years. I always go that extra mile for the songs because it’s picturized on him,” said Farah Khan, Director HNY.
Lyricist Irshad Kamil said, “Working on Happy New Year was a journey of celebration. I want to thank Farah Khan for its music. This experience will surely carry on for life as I am still not out of it, though the music is heading for its launch.”
The music directors Vishal– Shekhar said, “HNY is our third film with Farah who is always been like a family to us. The music of the film has every bit of the trademark Farah Khan energy-vibrant and colorful, just like her. It is always a pleasure to work with Farah and the undying faith that she has in us pushes us even harder to exceed her expectations of us each time. It’s been an honor to have composed the music for a magnum opus such as this one and the journey is unforgettable. HNY is our fourth film with Shah Rukh and even today, we can say that no one does it the way he does, from being the best producer to the most phenomenal performer. And once again, he has brought music to life with his magic. HNY has been made under amazing team work and has truly been made by heart.”
“Music has always been an integral part of an Indian film. The music of HNY is an album that can cater to all tastes. We hope that it will be liked by all as the music is happy and made from the heart,” said Venky Mysore,the CEO of Red Chillies entertainment.
“Happy New Year strengthens the bond that Shah Rukh and I share. The first song India Waale is the new anthem that has received an overwhelming response across all platforms and Manwa Laange is the new love song that is topping the charts. The entire music album is so fresh and hummable that the audience will fall in love with each and every composition,” said Bhushan Kumar, the Chairman and Managing Director of T-Series.
Happy New Year is a colorful, witty, action-packed musical bonanza. The film is produced by Red Chillies Entertainments Pvt Ltd and is distributed by Yash Raj Films worldwide. HNY will release this Diwali in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu languages.
