The music rights of ‘London Paris New York’ have been reserved by Sony Music. All seven songs in the album have been written, composed and sung by Ali Zafar. The album, which will be digitally available starting Jan 30, will also have the movie’s actor, Aditi Rao Hydari lending her voice to a song called ‘Voh Dekhane Mein’. The release of the album will be in the first week of February across key retail outlets. “The freshness quotient of the music will be loved by all music fans whether young or those who are young at heart,” said Sanujeet Bhujabal, marketing director, Sony Music India, said in a press statement. The soundtrack also features voices from Sunidhi Chauhan, Haldika Kiani and Pakistani Sufi singer Sanam Marvi.
The film, directed by Anu Menon, will release March 2. Ali Zafar was also set to perform live at the music launch of LPNY. But the plan has been scrapped after the actor-singer hurt his right hand while shooting for David Dhawan’s ‘Chashme Buddoor’. “Since Ali has sung all the songs, he agreed to come on stage and was ready to perform despite his injury. But the makers have told him to rest,” says an insider from the film unit. The filmmakers had planned an elaborate event, high on the musical quotient, given that Ali is a popular singer, who has several successful stage shows to his credit. Now, they have to think of other options. LPNY, produced by Goldie Behl and Shrishti Arya will open on March 2.
