Subhash Ghai turns lyricist and composer for 36 Farmhouse

Filmmaker Subhash Ghai will turn lyricist and composer for his next venture, 36 Farmhouse. With an ensemble cast, the film is set to mark Ghai's debut as a producer on an OTT platform. With Vijay Raaz, Ashwini Kalsekar, Sanjay Mishra, Amol Parashar and Barkha Singh, the film will be premiered on Zee5.

The makers launched the film's music on the television music reality show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, with Ghai presenting the album himself.

Speaking about the music, he said, “We launched the music of 36 Farmhouse on the Sa Re Ga Ma Pa show and the response we received — from my friends [and judges on the show] Himesh [Reshammiya], Vishal [Dadlani] and Shankar [Mahadevan], the contestants and the audience members — made me feel overwhelmed and is what keeps me going.

"I tell stories and write and compose songs for my passion, but without the love from my fans, all the efforts would mean nothing. So, I am glad that even after all these years, the fans still want to see more from me. I hope that they love and appreciate my OTT debut too and I am looking forward to seeing these songs climb the charts soon."

Directed by Ram Ramesh Sharma, the film highlights the disparity between the rich and the poor in a satirical way, giving the message that some steal for need and some for greed. The music album has two songs, 'Mohabbat', sung by Sonu Nigam, and 'Mind Your Business' by Hariharan.

The film, announced in 2021, is co-produced by Zee Studios and Mukta Arts Ltd. The release date is yet to be announced.
