Director Priyadarshan who didn't wish the Laila song to join Tezz has apparently relented to its inclusion. The producer and the director had a gathering on Monday to solve the issue, reports Mumbai Mirror.
“The song was shot with Priyan's approval. I went to Wai to fulfill him, and he had no objection to it. He was present in the course of the post production too. I'M on excellent terms with him and he's now promoting the film in numerous cities,” Ratan Jain has confirmed to the tabloid.
Director Priyadarshan recently said Mallika's item number within the film was not required and was added only for promotions.
"I never wanted the object song within the film however the producers (Ratan Jain of Venus) said we're a musical company and hence it came within the film. They went ahead with it and producers naturally are always right as they spend money at all times. I DIDN'T need to do it, in order that they shot it without me, but that may be fine," Priyadarshan had told PTI in an interview.
"The song in Tezz isn't needed. It's placed with none connection. But such things they do for promotions.. and that's what they mean. Tezz isn't a musical film.. it's an action film, in order that they feel item songs and all are important for promotion. So I DO NOT know whether or not they are right or me," he had said.
Mallika is seen grooving in a copper outfit to the thing number sung by Sunidhi Chauhan, choreographed by Ganesh Acharya and composed by music duo Sajid-Wajid. Reportedly, three names had cropped for this song – Mallika Sherawat, Sameera Reddy and Jiah Khan.
The filmmaker insists he's not against the theory of getting item numbers in a movie but all he says is there should be cause of it to be a part of the movie.
"I am basically against item songs, which can be installed the film with none reason. I'VE also shot item numbers, but only when it's needed. It will go together with the film and it's going to not stand separately with none reference to the movie," he said.
