There were also rumours that Madhur that Lata Mangeshkar might sing for his movie. The speculations arose when he had gone to see her. He says, “I have been a great fan of Latai since I was a child and it was my dream to get her to sing for my films. My dream came true when she sang for Page 3 and Jail. She is like a goddess to me. Whenever I am low, I call her. I must talk to her every 15 days. This time we talked about old songs. Her sisters Usha and Meenatai joined us. I will show her my film when it’s ready. While she has not sung in the film, a collection of Latadidi’s songs will be played in the background as the film is set in the 70s era.”
