The Game Changer team is preparing to release their third single, Naa Naa Hyraanaa, this Thursday. Yesterday, an interview with Shankar and Thaman was released in which the duo discussed the revolutionary technique used for this melody. The song, which stars Charan and Kiara Advani, was shot with an infrared camera, a first for Indian cinema.
Today, the creators surprised fans by releasing a BTS video, and it appears that Naa Naa Hyraanaa will be an instant hit. The BTS video sees Thaman discussing the tune with singers Karthik and Shreya Ghoshal. Aside from giving their ideas, the singers also sang a segment of the song, which was mellifluous. The BTS video is currently making waves on the internet.
Music composer Thaman expressed his excitement, stating that he used a different mode to create a distinct sound. He used many monotones. “Generally, we use one stereo tone but I used two monotones to make one stereo tone. I reworked the whole left and right stereo and we came up with a new programming idea,” Thaman explained, adding that all of the tones are very linear and reversible. Thaman, a Michale Jakson enthusiast, says he didn’t want to miss out on the ‘kick’ the tones provided him. Ram Joagayya’s lyrics brilliantly express the song’s premise; he captured the spirit of it perfectly. The outfit for the song was designed by Manish Malhotra.
According to director Shankar, #NaaNaaHyraanaa is the first Indian song shot with a ‘infrared camera.’ The camera has the potential to bring out diverse colours, creating a dreamlike scene. The song combines western and Carnatic sounds and has a wonderful appeal to the audience. Shankar spent more than five days shooting the song with Ram Charan and Kiara Advani in New Zealand. “I wanted the song to be dreamy and since it is in New Zealand I thought the song should have nice colors. When I shared my idea of using ‘infrared camera’ for the song, cinematographer Tirru was excited and couldn’t wait to shoot the song,” Shankar explains.
