The first song from John Abraham and Ileana D'Cruz's forthcoming film Pagalpanti is out and it is the remake of Salman Khan and Kajol's hit song Tum Par Hum Hai Atke. Both John and Ileana can be seen grooving to the music on a London road in colourful outfits.
The original song was included in Salman and Kajol's 1998 film Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya. The song has been recreated by Tanishk Bagchi, wrote by Sabbir Ahmed and sung by Mika and Neha Kakkar.
Ileana had before said that she was anxious to include in the song. She stated, "Recreating a classic is always met with a certain kind of expectation, and I was definitely nervous. But shooting with Ganesh Acharya (who also choreographed the original) made it so much easier. He (Acharya) made the entire song so much fun that John and I were completely relaxed during the shoot. We had a blast."
John included, "This song is one of my top picks and I thoroughly enjoyed dancing to it." Pagalpanti director Anees Bazmee even said that the song will bring back the enchantment "that Salman and Kajol" had made. "I love it how John has performed in this song and I feel there should be more such songs with him in it as the audience will love it. It's a definite add on to the movie and the young generation will love this when they dance to it in the clubs."
The trailer of the film had released on Wednesday and gotten mixed responses. Pagalpanti, additionally featuring Anil Kapoor, Arshad Warsi, Pulkit Samrat, Kriti Kharbanda, Urvashi Rautela, and Saurabh Shukla, will release on November 22. The film is created by T-Series, Panorama Studios and co-produced by Vinod Bhanushali, Shiv Chanana, Aditya Chowksey, and Sanjeev Joshi.
