Mumbai: Padma Bhushan, lyricist and celebrated poet Javed Akhtar will host ‘Main Koi Aisa Geet Gaoon’, and will delve deep into his treasure-trove to share golden trivia about magical collaborations with iconic composers, musicians, singers, directors, and actors.
Presented by Saregama Live, Javed Akhtar will share golden anecdotes from Hindi film music.
The evening will be brimming with unheard stories behind famous songs, and songs that led to unforgettable stories.
Talking about the same, Javed Akhtar said: “With the passage of time, memories gain a certain compelling power and ever so often, I find myself reliving musical sittings, conversations and moments of serendipity that led to the songs that are now considered iconic.”

This will be a lively, free-flowing conversation that will celebrate stalwart composers, singers, producers and actors that I have had the pleasure to closely collaborate with,” he added.
Singers Meiyang Chang and Jahanvi Shrimankar along with a live band will layer this enchanting journey of never-heard-before anecdotes, with renditions of classic songs.
