Bhardwaj who was a struggling musician when the song was composed says, "'Jungle Jungle Baat Chali Hai Pata Chala Hai...' was not only my first successful song but more importantly, it was my first collaboration with Gulzar saab. We were under a time constraint when we first made the song and didn't even have a moment to process what we were doing. We could never have imagined how popular it would be. After 23 years it's been an absolute delight to revisit the song. Gulzar saab's lyrics are as stunning as ever. He is truly at his best when he writes for kids. One could say that Gulzar Saab is, in fact, the oldest kid in the film industry. He is not jaded by age and so his lyrics rejoice in the innocence of childhood and pure wonder for the world. What greater joy is there for a composer than to have such a masterful lyricist to work with?”
Disney's 'The Jungle Book', as reported earlier by hitlist, will release on April 8, a week before its US release.
