MUMBAI: One dream that every artiste holds close to his heart is to get an opportunity to work with Yash Raj Films. Singer-songwriter Subhi recently got this opportunity under YRF’s youth banner Y-Films.
Y-Films has produced a series of short films titled ‘Love Shots’ to be digitally aired on its YouTube channel and each film has a song. One of these film songs has been sung and written by Subhi.
‘Ho Gayi Cool’ is the song that the artiste had with her for a while but it only saw the light of day when ‘Love Shots’ director Ankur Tewari approached her. “I have met Ankur Tewari a couple of times. He is a great mentor. He was the one who asked me to send my work to him. He told me that he wanted to pitch my songs somewhere. I did not know it was for Y-Films then. But, when the song got selected, he called me to inform me about the same. Later, I met the Y-Films’ team and we completed the song,” said Subhi.
