Dard-E-Disco to be made into a film
A film is to be made on the success of the hit song Dard-E-Disco, and top music producer Bappi Lahiri will star in it.
The film, directed by Ashok Tyagi, will be a musical comedy where Bappi plays a business tycoon who owns a chain of night clubs in Mumbai. Excited about his debut on the big screen, Bappi says, “Yes I loved the subject and the character that I am playing goes well with my image. I am called the disco king in the film and I love SRK and the title of the film is based on his hit song ‘Dard-E-Disco’ from Om Shanti Om. I have just worked on a song with him. Shah Rukh has tremendous energy and I hope I show that kind of energy with my role in the film.”
Director Ashok Tyagi tells us why he thought Bappida was perfect for the role, “Bappida is an interesting character and he is always smiling and very jovial. When I was working on the characters, I immediately thought of Bappida for this particular role. When I was speaking to him about the music for my film I thought I should speak to him about the role in the film. He was kind enough to agree to play a disco king who owns the most happening night club in Mumbai.”
