Saiyami Kher: Have been a fan of Swanand Kirkire's work, wanted to do something with him
Mumbai, Jan 16
Actors Saiyami Kher and Gulshan Devaiah have joined hands once again as they feature in an upcoming soulful romantic music video titled 'Aise Na Humko' composed by celebrated lyricist-composer Swanand Kirkire.
Sharing her excitement, Saiyami said, "I have always been a fan of Swanand's work and wanted to do something with him. I truly feel he is a treasure and so incredibly gifted such a fantastic writer, actor, and now a composer. It's incredible how much one man can do."
The actress is happy to work with Gulshan, with whom she was previously seen in "8 A.M. Metro."
"I was so happy when Gulshan agreed to come on board because we've worked together on 8 A.M. Metro and I share a certain comfort with him. He's such a sport and wonderful to work with."
Gulshan describes the collaboration as a creative continuation rather than a conventional reunion.
He shared, "I loved working with Saiyami, loved spending time with her ,and getting to know her over Glitch & 8 am Metro. Some people are just really nice to be around & she is one of them. We have a wonderful camaraderie and onscreen chemistry. I jumped at the opportunity of creating something along with her again. That's it .. it's that simple ."
The music video has been shot exclusively in Nashik, with key portions filmed at Saiyami Kher's farmstay, lending the visuals an organic and deeply personal charm.
"We shot at my farm stay in Nashik, it felt like utopia and made the experience even more special," Saiyami added. Choosing real locations over stylised sets allowed the emotions and lyrics of the song to unfold naturally.
Talking about the musician, Kirkire won the National Film Award for Best Lyrics twice. He was first feted with the honour in 2006 for the song "Bande Me Tha Dum...Vande Mataram" from the film Lage Raho Munna Bhai, and then in 2009, for the song "Behti Hawa Sa Tha Woh" from the film 3 Idiots.

Shooting at a real farmstay in Nashik instead of a studio set is such a good choice. It brings authenticity. Our film industry needs more of this organic feel, less artificial glamour.
Saiyami and Gulshan had such a subtle, beautiful chemistry in '8 A.M. Metro'. Glad they're teaming up again. Hope the song lives up to the hype! Fingers crossed.
While I appreciate the talent involved, I wish we'd see these actors in more substantial film roles rather than just music videos. The industry has so much potential for meaningful stories.
Nashik is such an underrated filming location! Beautiful vineyards and countryside. Good to see projects moving beyond the usual Mumbai/Goa spots. Promotes tourism also.
Swanand sir's work is pure poetry. From 'Lage Raho Munna Bhai' to now, he just gets better. Excited for this soulful romantic track. Hope it's on Spotify soon!
