Amaal Mallik roped in as guest composer for Chef

Mumbai Sep 11 (IANS) Amaal Mallik has composed "very touching and meaningful" song for Saif Ali Khan-starrer "Chef".

Titled "Tere mere darmiyaan" the love song has been sung by Amaal s brother Armaan Malik and the lyrics have been penned by Rashmi Vizag.

Talking about his experience of working with the song s music producer Abhijit Vaghani Amaal said in a statement: "He is a really talented music producer and understands the composer s vision. I love the fact that he will fight for something new and unheard yet when a song needs simplicity he just lets it breathe still keeping things innovative yet simple. It took us 10-12 straight days of no sleep to envision this song. When we cracked it the feeling was surreal."

Picturised on Saif the song shows the actor s character understanding things and thinking about where he went wrong and wants to make things right. The track is a blend of Indian music with alternative rock undertones and instruments like Chinese flutes and banjos have been used.

Commenting on it Virag said: "This is my first release after 11 months because I wanted to only work on a great song. Tere mere... is a song that has multiple levels - father-son relationship husband-wife relationship a man and his dreams a man and his career. A lot had to be weaved in one song and we did it with ease."

Armaan described the lyrics as "very touching and meaningful" and added: "The song has been very close to my heart since the time I first heard it. I hope the audience does not cry while hearing the song. Even I had goosebumps while recording the song."
