Ayushmann Khurrana and Nushrat Bharucha are leaving no stone unturned to build up the right amount of curiosity for their upcoming film Dream Girl. The lead actors of the film, after giving us fun songs like Radhe Radhe and Dil Ka Telephone, have shot for yet another highly interesting song. The song is the remake of Dada Kondke's iconic dance number Dhagala Lagli Kala. The remake apart from Ayushmann and Nushrat features Riteish Deshmukh, who remains the obvious and perfect choice when it comes to peppy Marathi numbers. The Marathi lyrics of the song are sung by Jyotica Tangri while Meet Bros. have lent their vocals to the Hindi wordings. Speaking about the song, Riteish, during an interview with a leading daily, told working on Dada Kondke's track was motivating and he was happy to share the screen space with Ayushmann and Nushrat.
Dhagala’ is an all-time favourite dance number. The original featured the legendary Dada Kondke, so being a part of this song was motivation enough. Also, Ayushmann and Nushrat are fantastic actors and dancers and having admired their work I was happy to share the screen with them.”
Adding more about the song, the Housefull 4 actor said if due respect is given to an iconic number like Dhagala Lagli Kala, it is welcomed by all. He also said such peppy and cult classics are being accepted by the younger generation. "It can make even a non-dancer sway, that’s the power of the song. And every actor wants to do an out-and-out dance number. There have been great recreations of songs, some not so good ones as well. As long as due respect is given to a track in its recreated version, it is welcome. The younger generation is accepting and dancing to it and that’s great,” he added.
The director of Dream Girl, Raaj Shaandilyaa said, "I had done the chat show Yaaron Ki Baraat with Riteish. We have known each other for a long time. When I made this request, he immediately agreed."
Dream Girl is directed by Raaj and also stars Manjot Singh, Annu Kapoor, Vijay Raaz and Abhishek Banerjee in key roles. The rom-com is slated to hit theatres on September 13.
