Latest news Update About Jhootha Hi Sahi Songs: September 8, 2010: Abbas Tyrewala was in Chennai on Sunday and Monday trying to get the last bit of his much-delayed music in Jhootha Hi Sahi in place. The film is just weeks away from release date (Oct 15). And the master-CD is still not in the harassed director’s hands.
The formal music release by Saregama has been postponed until the music is ready.
But before that a formal announcement of the music is expected to be made on a music reality-show to be recorded on Tuesday.
The ‘master’ must be ready latest by Monday evening, so that the director Abbas Tyrewala and composer A R Rahman could rush back from Chennai in time to record the show on Tuesday. At the time of writing, the music was still not completed.
Trying to sound brave and not pressing the panic button, Tyrewala on Sunday said from Chennai, “I’ve been shuttling between Chennai and Mumbai. Staying awake since Rahman works at nights, I’ve forgotten what jetlag is. I know it’s cutting it close. We are almost done….finally! We just need to add a string section in the soundtrack. I am hopeful tomorrow it will be done and we’ll make it for the show.”
Abbas jumps to the much-beleaguered Rahman’s defence. “When you want the pinnacle of excellence in the quality of songs in your film that only Rahman can achieve, then you have to be prepared to be patient. Yes, I have had to wait. But it’s been worth it. Rahman has composed 7 songs and 2 re-mixes. That’s a total of 9 tracks.”

Saregama is planning for a 360 degree approach for marketing the film as well as its music. Apart from making the film’s music available in all the leading stores, it will be up on Saregama’s website for a hassle-free download.
