Riteish Deshmukh turns lyricist for Banjo

Riteish Deshmukh has penned the lyrics of the song Raada Raada from his upcoming musical drama, Banjo produced by Eros International and directed by critically-acclaimed filmmaker, Ravi Jadhav.

Interestingly, Banjo, which is based in Mumbai and has been shot at real locations in the city, has got a local Maharashtrian culture associated to it.

Being a Maharashtrian, Riteish could relate to the mood of the dance number, Raada and accordingly suggested local Marathi words including Khulla Karaycha, etc. to lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya.

Produced by Eros International and directed by Ravi Jadhav starring Riteish Deshmukh and Nargis Fakhri, Banjo releases on September 23.
