Another song from Aishwarya Rai Bachchan-starrer Jazbaa releases this week. Called Kahaaniyaan, composed by Arko Pravo Mukherjee and voiced by singer-songwriter Niloofer Safiri, the track has been choreographed by Ahmed Khan.

Of the song, director Sanjay Gupta says, “Kahaaniyaan is in a happy space — about life and taking on new challenges. It’s the first visual in the film on the title sequence and talks about a fit, happy, single mother working out, waking up her daughter and getting her ready for school, making breakfast, going to court, etc.”

Gupta adds that the song will reveal how Aishwarya is one of the fittest actresses around. “When we started shooting for Jazbaa, everybody from my family to my friends would have just one question for me: Has Aishwarya lost weight? And I would tell everybody to calm down. I knew they’d shut up when they saw this song.”

He adds, “We shot for a day at Bandra Reclamation with the Mumbai skyline as the backdrop. Normally we do exercises like cardio/stretches for an hour or so, but for the song, Aishwarya had to do cardio throughout the day. We were pressed for time, there was no time to relax in between shots.”
