Race 2 to have international DJs?

By Hindustan Times

Partygoers are always in search of that next dance number and Bollywood films seldom disappoint, since every release has a few such tracks on their albums. Now, the songs from Ramesh Taurani’s next action-thriller, Race 2, appear to have created a huge buzz among dance music lovers to boot. When the brand new single from the film, ‘There’s a celebration on my mind’, was released, little did Taurani know that it'd be so popular.

“Ever since we released the song earlier last week, we now have been getting calls and e-mails from DJs across the world, who wish to remix it. Even Pritam was approached for a similar. For now, we haven’t decided whom to select,” says Taurani.

DJs from clubs in Canada, USA, London, Dubai and India are at the list. “DJ Suketu has always remixed songs from my movies and he's keen to remix the song too. From the calls we’ve got so far, we now have chosen four DJs and can announce the name of the only whose remix might be utilized in the music CD,” says Taurani.

Music director Pritam will decide which DJ to finally select, adds Taurani. “I can be fascinated by the verdict too but after all he knows best,” he says. Though Taurani refuses to show the names of the shortlisted DJs, an insider says, “The New York-based DJ Jay Dabhi was finalised for the remix.”

The song was shot on a beach in Turkey. “It happens at a celebration to celebrate John Abraham’s character’s acquisition of many casinos. We flew in 70 dancers from Russia, since Turkey had none,” says the creative producer of the film, Jay Shewakramani.
