Considering Marvel's Joss Whedon-directed superhero extravaganza
The Avengers has been in post-production for over four months now, with four months remaining until release, attaching composer Alan Silvestri's musical arrangement is likely the current stage; if not already done so. With
that said, according to the
Hindustan Times insiders,
The Avengers production team are apparently keen on having a Hindi title song for the Indian release of the highly-anticipated film.
An insider reveals that they have shortlisted two bands Euphoria and Agnee from India, and Pakistani rock outfits Strings and Jal to compose and sing the soundtrack.
“They are looking for action songs, at par with the mood of the film,” reveals a production insider. “The music composed by these bands will be sampled, and on the basis of that, they will decide which will finally compose the title track of the film. The final call will be taken in the next two weeks,” says the source.
Euphoria’s bass guitarist Deb Jyoti Bhaduri says, “We would love to collaborate with such a big production house, but we haven’t been approached as yet.”
Marvel Production remained unavailable for comment on the above reports. Anyhow, Pop rock band Strings, one of the bands considered, has worked on Sam Raimi's
Spider-Man 2 back in 2004. Whether or not the addition of a Hindi title song will affect the U.S. release is uncertain. What do you think?
