Jhalak judges do ‘Amar Akbar Anthony’

New Delhi: ‘Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa’ judges Madhuri Dixit, Remo D’Souza and Karan Johar have stepped into the shoes of veteran actors Amitabh Bachchan, Rishi Kapoor and Vinod Khanna for a promo of the upcoming season of the dance reality show.

They have danced to a customised version of the title track of 1977 film ‘Amar Akbar Anthony’. The song has been recreated and sung by Jaaspreet Kohli, who has also given his voice to the song ‘Nimma nimma’, composed by A.R. Rahman for the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics.

Director Johar is excited about featuring in the new version of the song, which was originally sung by Kishore Kumar, Shailendra Kumar and Mahendra Kapoor.

“It’s a great feeling to be dancing on a song as popular as this and we literally are doing some ‘anhoni’ [impossible] things on the show this time. We hope the audiences like our dance as well,” he said in a statement.

Choreographer D’Souza said: “It’s an honour to be choreographing such a legendary song and at the same time performing it. It was a challenge to present it in a different way that appeals to the audiences and I hope I’ve done that.”

The new season of ‘Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa’ will be aired on Colors.
