MUMBAI: The Covid-19 pandemic had called for all shoots and production work to be stalled. But after a hiatus, showbiz is gradually getting back on its feet. A while back, Sobhita Dhulipala shot for a music video for music man Miket Kanakia’s music label, Velvet Vibes. The shoot for the English song took place in Bandra (Mumbai). The music video produced by Mourjo Chatterjee has a very raw , new age and cosmopolitan vibe to it . Singer Rameet Sandhu has lent her vocals for the song.
The team shot for the music video by adhering to all social distancing norms. To keep all possible health risks at bay, the actor and the crew put on face-shields, masks and gloves as a mandatory measure. They made their best attempt to work with a skeleton crew and have upped their hygiene game by providing multiple sanitizing stations and medical facilities on set to constantly monitor body temperature and oxygen levels. Although the guidelines are in flux, the production put together a set of best practices to ensure safety of all stakeholders on field, sparing no expense to ensure they are working in a safe environment.
Ahead of the release of the song the founder of Velvet Vibes, Miket Kanakia says “Velvet Vibes aims at catering to young music lovers of the country. We have come up with an English track which marks our first project, making it a very special song. It has a cool vibe that’s tailored to match the likes of millennial’s.
