Social media erupted yesterday with excitement following the announcement that rising star Pritom Hasan is collaborating with legendary vocalist Runa Laila for a song in the highly anticipated film Prince. The news immediately captivated fans and music enthusiasts, generating widespread discussion online.
For Pritom, this collaboration represents a personal and professional milestone. A long-time admirer of Runa Laila, he revealed that he had always dreamed of working with the icon. Reflecting on their previous encounters, he shared, “Since it’s you, I need to bring something I’ve never done before… give me a little more time.” His devotion to crafting a composition worthy of her stature highlights the deep respect he holds for the singer.
Runa Laila, whose illustrious career spans decades and countless hits across South Asia, sets a high benchmark for any collaborator. Understanding this, Pritom was determined not to deliver an ordinary track. The opportunity finally materialised three months ago when Shakib Khan and the Prince production team approached him to create a high-energy dance number for the film.
Speaking about the experience, Pritom described Runa Laila as “more than just an artist for my generation. She’s an institution across South Asia, and she’s still ahead of her time. Of course, she would say ‘Yes’ to my little experiments. I don’t think people understand how lucky I feel having her voice on my composition and sharing the same track.”
Interestingly, Pritom hinted that this may mark a turning point in his musical journey. While the upcoming track for Prince embraces a vibrant, dance-oriented sound, he suggested that it could be his final voiced dance number for films for some time.
“This will probably be my last voiced dance track for films for a while. I feel like returning to songs such as ‘Shoroter Shesh Thekey’, ‘Morey Jaak’, ‘Khoka’—less hype, more soul,” he explained.
Pritom concluded by expressing gratitude to his audience, acknowledging that both praise and criticism have been instrumental in shaping his career in film music.
