It
has
been
four
long
years
since
Fukrey
hit
the
big
screen
and
made
the
audience.
Now
that
the
producers
are
coming
back
with
a
sequel,
they
plan
to
recreate
a
classic
song
to
the
film
which
is
releasing
today.
Producers
Farhan
Akhtar
and
Ritesh
Sidhwani
have
recreated
the
iconic
song,
"O
meri
Mehboobo",
from
Manmohan
Desai's
1977
fantasy-adventure,
Dharam
Veer.
"It's
the
first
song
in
the
film
and
comes
at
a
crucial
point
in
the
narrative
as
Part
2
starts
exactly
one
year
after
the
original
ended.
Richa's
lady
don,
Bholi
Punjaban,
is
in
jail
and
Hunny,
Choocha,
Lali
and
Zafar
are
enjoying
life,
believing
the
past
is
behind
them,
when
lives
spirals
downwards.
It
is
picturised
on
the
four
boys," informs
Ritesh,
adding
that
composer
Hardeep
who
had
scored
"Kala
Chashma"
for
Nitya
Mehra's
Baar
Baar
Dekho
sent
them
scratch
with
the
hook
line
being
"O
meri
mehbooba".
Ritesh
loved
the
song
and
Raftaar
has
rapped
for
the
recreated
"Mehbooba".
The
makers
have
retained
the
original
hook
line,
"O
meri
mehbooba
mehbooba
mehbooba,
tujhey
jaana
hai
toh
jaa
teri
marji
mera
kya."
"We
are
even
trying
to
retain
Mohd.
Rafi's
voice,
it's
a
great
song
and
I
hope
everyone
likes
this
version," says
Ritesh.

says
Ritesh
"I
don't
know
about
trend
as
it
depends
on
the
film
and
it's
requirement.
It
worked
for
"Kala
Chashma" and
for
Judwaa
2.
Even
in
Don
we
kept
"Khaike
Paan"
and
"Yeh
Mera
Dil".
Thanks
to
technology
we
can
retain
the
melody
while
making
it
slightly
more
contemporary,"
the
filmmaker
explains.
