The project, which was first scheduled to go on floor in March, however came with the initial hiccup of Eros opting out of co-production. Later the film's shoot was postponed to June.

As goes with the Bollywood love sagas, music happens to be the key element or one can say that it is the soul of any Hindi love story. Lootera too is no exception in the case as it has the young and versatile Amit Trivedi composing music for it. Sawaar Loon was the first song released from the album, which has impressed the music buffs.
Second one in the line is Ankahee. While Sawaar Loon was a soothing song inspired from the melodies of the 60s, Ankahee is quite contemporary with tripping dignity in its tune. The song has been wonderfully rendered by Amitabh Bhattacharya. In the video, one can see glimpses of love and separation along with the pain the two lovers undergo.
It is to note that Lootera is the first film from the Phantom production, owned by four prominent filmmakers: Anurag Kashyap, Vikramaditya Motwane, Madhu Mantena and Vikas Bahl. It is quite apparent that the eminent filmmakers have high hope from it. It is co-produced by Balaji Motion Pictures. So far the film’s trailer has received an overwhelming response, and the same can be said for the songs.
Here check out Ankahee from Lootera, which will be releasing on July 5!
