David Dhawan On Recreating Songs For 'Coolie No. 1' From 1995 Original
After Husnn Hai Suhaana, the latest song, Tujhe Mirchi Lagi, from the movie released today on Monday and is already trending on social media. While the original song is sung by Kumar Sanu and Alka Yagnik, the new version, filmed on Sara and Varun, has been reimagined by Lilo George and DJ Chetas. Director of the film, David Dhawan, hopes the songs will give extra mileage to the film.
"Songs from the original Coolie No. 1 are hugely popular and timeless. According to me, these tracks helped the film. I was always clear that if I ever made this film again, I would use these blockbuster songs".
"The songs from the original were created by music directors Anand-Milind and written by lyricist Sameer, who are close to me. We have done a lot of work together. Including these songs in the new Coolie No.1 was my way to pay back", said David Dhawan.
The upcoming Coolie No. 1 also stars Paresh Rawal, Javed Jaffrey, Sahil Vaid, Manoj Joshi, Johnny Lever, Rajpal Yadav, and Anil Dhawan in the key roles.
