The
song
'Naino
Mein
Sapna',
made
famous
by
legendary
playback
singer
Kishore
Kumar,
has
been
given
a
modern
makeover
by
his
son
Amit
in
the
remake
version
of
the
Jeetendra-Sridevi
starrer
Himmatwala.
"Re-recording
'Naino
Mein
Sapna'
for
me
was
like
being
a
part
of
history.
Never
before
has
a
song
been
sung
in
the
same
style
rendered
by
his
father
30
years
ago," said
Sajid
Khan,
who
is
directing
the
new
Himmatwala.
"When
Amit
started
singing,
it
was
almost
like
Kishoreda
had
come
alive
to
sing
the
song
for
us," he
said.
As
the
filmmakers
had
the
rights
to
the
song,
a
few
lines
from
the
original
have
been
retained.
Music
composer
duo
Sajid-Wajid
have
recreated
the
music
of
the
chartbuster
in
sync
with
today's
music.
Ajay
Devgn
and
southern
star
Tamannaah
Bhatia
are
playing
the
main
leads
in
the
remake
of
Himmatwala.
Known
as
the
'matka'
number,
the
original
was
picturised
with
Jeetendra
and
Sridevi
in
the
eighties
with
Lata
Mangeshkar
and
Kishore
Kumar
lending
their
voices.
The
melodious
Shreya
Ghoshal
has
lent
her
voice
for
the
female
part
in
the
reprise
version
which
released
online
recently.
