Shaamat sowed the seeds of Tara Sutaria and Arjun Kapoor’s friendship

The year’s rock anthem is here! The song ‘Shaamat’ from the film ‘Ek Villain Returns’ has just been released, and fans are going crazy over it. Tara Sutaria nails it with her rockstar performance and beautiful vocals with Ankit Tiwari.

Tara had never sang for a film before, and when questioned, she said she had a lot of pleasure both singing and filming it. She stated “Its been such an unusual experience for me and this feeling is incomparable as Shaamat marks my debut in singing for film. Apart from the making process of the song, I had a great experience in shooting with Arjun. He is a gem both on and off set – this song was the beginning of the film shoot for us and also the beginning of a wonderful equation we’ve built over the last two years in making the film.”

Shaamat was also the song that sowed the seeds of Tara Sutaria and Arjun Kapoor’s close friendship. Arjun talking about the same, stated “It was our first real interaction. On the day of shooting Shaamat, Tara and I really bonded over that song, we became very very close.” He added “When you see the song you will see an equation develop on camera which was also developing off-camera”

Their friendship blossomed so sweetly that Arjun Kapoor stayed behind to enjoy Tara’s joy during a stunt. He remembers “There’s a visual where Tara is put on a harness and she has to be ziplined onto the stage. It was a night shoot and Tara was excited and nervous about doing the zipline visual. I had very few shots but we all ended up staying back because we all wanted to see Tara perform it. Of course she managed to do it very well and I ended up shooting a video of it on my phone and showing it to her later. It was so much fun watching her shoot her first stunt being on the harness while performing as a rockstar and being there for her.” He also expressed how much fun the actors had being in Goa for the filming and getting to know the members.

Mohit Suri directed, Ek Villain Returns, starring John Abraham, Arjun Kapoor, Disha Patani, and Tara Sutaria, will be released internationally on July 29, 2022.
