Ankahee could not have been a better track to commence the album. It is the album’s once-upon-a-time and tells of a untold story. Amitabh Bhattacharya beautifully renders the equally well written track.

Shahid Kapoor is considered one of the best dancers in the Bollywood industry and one of the coolest things is that he can not only groove to the modern beat, he can also show a more classic side as well as put his own vibe into the dances that came before him. In Teri Meri Kahaani, Shahid Kapoor will pay tribute to late Shammi Kapoor’s fabulous dance moves
Shahid was very keen on doing these steps since he has always admired Shammi Kapoor as a dance icon. “I have grown up watching Shammi sir’s films, and have always admired him. I especially loved him in Teesri Manzil (1966) and Kashmir Ki Kali (1964). He is still a style icon for a lot of youngsters even today,” says Shahid.
As you probably have guessed this tribute will be shown in the 60’s era of the film. “For the track set in the ’60s,...

Dashing actor known as the 'Indian Elvis', he changed the face of Bollywood cinema
The dashing, debonair Indian actor Shammi Kapoor, who has died of renal failure aged 79, changed the face of Bollywood cinema with his first hit film, Tumsa Nahin Dekha (Never Seen Anyone Like You, 1957). The rock'n'roll-inspired movie turned the young actor into an overnight sensation and he continued to incorporate elements of western culture and fashion in his subsequent films. By dancing in the big musical numbers, the hip-swinging Kapoor bucked the Bollywood trend of a stationary hero. His boisterous sensuality and confidence made him irresistible to male and female fans and he became arguably the first male pin-up of the Indian subcontinent, a sort of "Indian Elvis".
Kapoor was a member of one of Bollywood's most distinguished acting dynasties. The second son of the actor Prithviraj Kapoor, Shamsher Raj Kapoor was born in Bombay (now Mumbai...

"Actor Shammi Kapoor, the dancing star who revolutionised the image of Hindi film heroes in the 1950s and 1960s with his carefree and flamboyant personality, died on Sunday," reports the Hindustan Times. "The tall, athletic and green-eyed hero had his share of struggle before making it big. The recipe for his success was a makeover as a flamboyant yet lovable lover boy and an uninhibited style of dancing. The freshness and style saw him deliver big hits like An Evening in Paris, China Town, Kashmir Ki Kali, Janwar and Junglee (which had the 'Yahoo' chartbusting song). Sharmila Tagore and Saira Banu, who made their Bollywood debuts with him in Kashmir Ki Kali and Junglee, respectively, said they would miss the star who was 'high spirited and so full of life."
