मराठी गाण्याचा विक्रम : 'येड्यावानी करतंय' गाण्याच्या टिमला करावी लागली चित्रीकरणादरम्यान पावसामध्ये येड्यावानी नॉनस्टॉप 36 तास मेहनत

 

गाण्यामध्ये रोमॅन्स फुलवायचं काम करणारा पाऊस त्याचं गाण्याच्या शुटिंगच्या टिमला मात्र किती त्रासदायक ठरू शकतो, त्याचं उत्तम उदाहरण ठरलं, नादखुळा म्युझिकचं 'येड्यावानी करतंय'  हे नुकतंच रिलीज झालेलं गाणं. नादखुळा म्युझिक प्रस्तुत 'येड्यावानी करतंय' हे गावरान बाजाचं रोमँटिक गाणं नुकतंच रिलीज झालंय.

निखील नमीत आणि प्रशांत नाकतीची निर्मिती असलेलं, अभिजीत दानी दिग्दर्शित, संजु राठोड आणि जी स्पार्क ह्यांनी संगीतबध्द केलेलं, संजु राठोड आणि सोनाली सोनावणेने गायलेलं 'येड्यावानी करतंय' हे गाणं श्रध्दा पवार आणि नील चव्हाणवर चित्रीत झालंय. ह्या गाण्याचं चित्रीकरण इगतपुरी जवळच्या एका गावात केलंय. पहिल्या प्रेमावरचं गावरान गाणं असल्याने हिरव्याकंच शेतामध्ये पावसाळ्यात हे गाणं चित्रीत करायचं ठरलं, पण पावसानेच शुटिंगमध्ये खोळंबा केला. आणि 36 तास ब्रेक न घेता टिमला हे गाणं शुट करावं लागलं.

ह्याविषयी दिग्दर्शक अभिजीत दानी म्हणतात,”नवोदित कलाकारांची टिम असल्याने रिटेक झाले तर, असं म्हणून शुटिंग वेळेत पूर्ण करण्यासाठी सकाळी चारची शिफ्ट लावली. पण जणु पावसाने आमची परिक्षाच घ्यायचं ठरवलं होतं. पावसाने त्यादिवशी उसंतच घेतली नाही. मग उघड्या रानात शुटिंग पूर्ण करताना आमचे नाकीनऊ आले. अख्खा दिवस अख्खी रात्र जागून आणि दुस-या दिवशीही असं करून 36 तासात गाणं पूर्ण केलं. ह्यात आमच्या युवा कलाकारांचा जोश कामी आला. आणि आता ही येड्यावानी केलेली मेहनत फळाला आलेली आहे.”

निर्माते निखील नमीत आणि प्रशांत नाकती म्हणतात, “नादखुळा म्युझिक सुरू करताना नव्या टॅलेंटला व्यासपीठ देण्याचा आमचा संकल्प होता. संजू राठोड ह्या जळगावच्या टॅलेंटेड संगीतकार, गायकाला आम्ही ह्या गाण्यातून संधी दिलीय. अशाच नवनव्या कलाकारांना आपली क्षमता सिध्द करायची संधी नादखुळा म्युझिक सातत्याने देत राहिल.”

संजु राठोडने गाण्याचे बोल लिहीले आहेत. संगीत दिले आणि हे गाणे गायलेही आहे. गीतकार, संगीतकार, गायक संजु राठोड म्हणतो, “माझी आत्तापर्यंतची सर्व गाणी ही शहरी बाजाची होती. गावरान बाजाचं एखादं गाणं करावं अशी इच्छा होती. आणि हे बोल सुचले. गाणं तयार झाल्यावर एकदा प्रशांतदादाला  ऐकवलं. त्याला ते एवढं आवडलं की, प्रशांतदादा आणि निखीलदादाने लगेच निर्मिती करायचं ठरवलं. शुटिंगपूर्वी हे मुलाच्याच अँगलचे गाणे होते. पण शुटिंग दरम्यान त्यात मुलीच्या भावनाही प्रकट झाल्या पाहिजेत, हे लक्षात आल्याने लगेच गाण्यात बदल केले. आणि सोनाली सोनावणेला अप्रोच केला.”

गायिका सोनाली सोनावणेने गायलेलं गाणं श्रध्दा पवारवर चित्रीत झालंय. श्रध्दा आणि सोनालीचं हे एकत्र पाचवं गाणं आहे. सोनाली सोनावणे म्हणते, “माझा आवाज श्रध्दावर ऑनस्क्रीन चांगला सूट होतो असं मला वाटतं. ह्या प्रोफेशनल जर्नीमधून मला श्रध्दा ही एक बेस्ट फ्रेंड मिळाली.   मी गायलेल्या गाण्यावर जेव्हा ती एक्टिंग करते, तेव्हा मला खूप आनंद होतो. श्रध्दाच्या चेह-यातली निरागसता ह्या  गाण्यातून उत्तमरितीने झळकलीय. संजु राठोडसाठी मी ह्याअगोदरही तीन गाणी गायली आहेत. हे गाणं संजु ने ऐकवताच मला ते खूप आवडलं होतं. आत्तापर्यंत संजूने संगीतबध्द केलेल्या सर्व गाण्यांमधलं माझं हे सर्वात आवडतं गाणं आहे. संजूच्या गाण्याची खासियत आहे की त्याची गाणी ही युवा पिढीला खूप रिलेटेबेल असतात.”

श्रध्दा पवारची सोशल मीडियावर चांगलीच फॉलोविंग आहे. श्रध्दा म्हणते, “येड्यावानी करतंय हे गाणं माझ्यासाठी खूप खास होतं. एक तर,हे माझं पहिलं गाणं, त्यात प्रचंड पावसात शुटिंग करताना चेह-यावर रोमँटिक भाव द्यायचे, हे अवघडच काम होतं. इन्स्टाग्राम इन्फ्लुएन्सर म्हणुन मोबाईल कॅमेरा फेस करणं आणि शुटिंगचा कॅमेरा फेस करणं ह्या दोन वेगळ्या गोष्टी असतात. मला अभिनेत्री म्हणून करीयर सुरू करण्याचा कॉन्फिडन्स ह्या गाण्याने दिला.”

अभिनेता नील चव्हाणचेही हे पहिलेच गाणे आहे. नील म्हणतो, “माझ्या पहिल्या सीनच्या वेळी मी खूपच नर्व्हस होतो. शुटिंग पाहायला खूप गर्दी झाली होती. मी हिरोईनला पाहून शेताच्या बांधावरून पळत चाललेला असतो असा सीन होता. तेव्हा खूप पाऊस पडत होता.  शेतीच्या बांधावर खूप चिखल झाला होता. त्यामुळे घसरून पडायची शक्यता होती. पण न घसरता  चेह-यावर हसरे एक्सप्रेस घेऊन पळत जायचे होते. हा माझा सगळ्यात अवघड सीन होता. अनेक अडचणींना सामोरे जाऊन आम्ही गाणे पूर्ण केले आणि आता हे गाणे रिलीज होते आहे. ह्याचा आम्हांला आनंद होतो आहे.”

Avika Gor shares this before after picture and this is the motivation we all need

 

Avika Gor shares this before and after picture and she has turned it completely with her fitness regime and diet. She is seemingly unfit in the before picture and she looks low on confidence in that as well. She has turned it and how. She stuck to a strict regime and she followed a very sound protocol with her workout regime. Avika is very strong mentally and she is someone who can't lay low for long. She knows to bounce back and in style. It of course takes a lot of work and dedication but we can vouch it for our girl. Without much ado, let's just hear it from her only.

We spoke to her and here is what she has got to say, "Well, the unfit time was a difficult time. I was used to move a certain way and work in a certain way. When the weight and fitness is not on point, then the body doesn't move the way we want it to. I started by going on a calorie deficit. And then I started working out. I had some great consultants on board and they kept me in a great mindspace. It was one day at a time and it was done pretty soon. I am proud of what I could accomplish in a short time. I wish to say one thing that I loved myself even when the fitness was not on point. There was just on the mind all through. The body can change differently and one needs to keep it in the positive frame all times. Diet was a major part and I kept moving."
