Bollywood composer Gourov Dasgupta’s solo single ‘Saiyyonee’ has hit the airwaves, with lyrics penned by veteran songwriter Sameer Anjaan and playback singers Yasser Desai and Rashmeet Kaur crooning to them.
The grand music video directed by Kookie Gulati is dubbed a tale of love and loss, featuring ‘Bigg Boss Season 13’ heartthrob Asim Riaz and ‘Khuda Haafiz’ actress Shivaleeka Oberoi.
Dedicating the new single to his daughter, Gourov said: “This song is extremely dear to my heart and I am glad to have collaborated with Sameer Saab, who has given me an immaculate piece of poetry, and the incredibly talented duo of Yasser Desai and Rashmeet Kaur.
“Kookie is like a big brother to me and he has created magic with the music video and of course, Asim and Shivaleeka look picture perfect in every frame! Thanks to Rohan and the entire team at Sony Music India for believing in me. I dedicate this to my daughter, Vedika. This is a part of my legacy that I choose to leave behind.”
Released by Sony Music India this week, ‘Saiyyonee’ is now available on all streaming platforms.
Asim Riaz said: “I'm very grateful for the love and anticipation that people have shown for ‘Saiyyonee’. This is a very exciting moment for everyone associated with the creation of the song.”
Shivaleeka Oberoi noted: “It has been an amazing experience featuring in ‘Saiyyonee’. I was stunned to watch and hear the final song. I'm sure the song will captivate everyone with its soothing melody.”
Yasser Desai said he felt fortunate to have listeners appreciate his singing style which he was able to harness for the new melody.
“The release of ‘Saiyyonee’ was highly anticipated and now I can't wait to know the response. My love to all those wishing me luck for this song,” he said.
Rashmeet Kaur added: “Everyone involved in the creation of ‘Saiyyonee’ has done a fabulous job. Sameer sir's lyrics and Gourov's composition have made it magical. I'm super happy that the song is available for all."
