"Santosh had shot my second Hindi film Gardish with Jackie Shroff.Also, I worked with my cinematographer Santosh Sivan again after many years. Making this film was a pleasant experience because the producer didn't give me a hard time. I have to tell you, working with Vashu Bhagnani, I was very comfortable. The Gangnam style number, the rights of which were bought from Korean singer Psy, is now part of the opening credit titles in Rangrezz, which released on Friday.We both agreed finally that the film needed a big promotional track," he added. But then Vashu Bhagnani and I had discussions over the song. And there's no way an item number can be interpolated into the plot. You have to understand this is not one of my lighter films. "Initially, I felt the Gangnam style track didn't fit into Rangrezz.I don't want to get the reputation of a director, who comes in the way of songs and music in every film," said Priyadarshan. "Look, I don't want to come across as the party-pooper every time.It was only after initial reservations that he was okay with the desi version of Gangnam style to be part of the Vashu Bhagnani production, which features the producer's son Jackky in the lead.It is surprising then how he agreed to include an item song in his new film Rangrezz. When an item song was brought into his last Hindi release Tezz, he had rebelled against the producer, Ratan Jain and disowned the product. Filmmaker Priyadarshan is not much into item songs.
