Band baaja and bespoke song


In the glitzy world of Bollywood, a wedding is not just an exchange of vows but a grand celebration that often sets trends and captures the public’s imagination. For celebrity couple Rakul Preet Singh and Jackky Bhagnani, their wedding preparations have taken an interesting turn with the commission of a personalized soundtrack for their special day, set to take place on February 22 in the scenic locale of Goa.

The lovebirds, who have been openly dating since 2021, have decided to add a unique musical touch to their nuptials. This comes after the couple enjoyed a festive New Year’s getaway in Thailand, ringing in 2023 with pomp before diving headlong into their wedding plans. Their upcoming matrimonial event is poised to be an intimate gathering, with invitations reserved for family members and close friends.

Leading the pack of their posh preparations is the enlistment of famed wedding videographer Vishal Punjabi, popularly known for his company The Wedding Filmer. Punjabi, a name synonymous with the creation of opulent wedding films for Bollywood’s luminaries, will document the couple’s marriage festivities. But this time, his duties extend beyond filming. Proving his versatility and creative spirit, Punjabi is also set to craft a bespoke song for the happy couple.

Over recent years, The Wedding Filmer has earned a sterling reputation as the final word in customized wedding videography, with a client roster featuring industry giants like Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli, as well as Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh. Punjabi’s work is highly sought after by those desiring a cinematic keepsake of their love and commitment.

The secret ingredient to The Wedding Filmer’s success lies in its auditory offerings—a diverse collection of over 50 tracks, tailor-made to encapsulate the essence of the couples’ journeys together. These tracks range from heartfelt renditions performed by the bride or groom to reimagined versions of classic love anthems, and, most significantly, original compositions that become eternal symbols of the couples’ bonds.

Rakul and Jackky, opting for a song that encapsulates their shared past and aspirations for the future, have found in Punjabi a creative maestro capable of translating their love story into melody and verse. This customized track, currently under development, is expected to be a harmonious reflection of the couple’s unique narrative. Aspirations are high that by the first week of February, Punjabi will unveil a melody that not only resonates with the couple but will also be an acoustic emblem of their love for years to come.

The trend of personalized wedding songs in Bollywood royally commenced with certain megastar weddings, evoking a sentiment that love can indeed be immortalized in music. This serves as a testament to the transformative power of customization within the wedding industry, offering a more intimate and meaningful experience for the couple and their guests.

As the countdown to the Goa wedding begins, fans and followers of both Rakul Preet Singh and Jackky Bhagnani are buzzing with anticipation. With the track’s completion on the horizon, the marriage ceremony promises to be more than just a union of two hearts—it’s set to be an auditory journey that celebrates this Bollywood couple’s love, a romantic ballad that will echo long after their special day has passed.
