Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar says the revamped and rejuvenated version of song Kala chashma in the film Baar Baar Dekho will leave behind “a huge smile on the face and a dance in demeanour”.
There is a pattern in Bollywood of unveiling the trailer first, but makers of Baar Baar Dekho, which stars Sidharth Malhotra and Katrina Kaif, are taking a different route altogether.
Excel Entertainment and Dharma Productions will be presenting the first song from the film before the trailer. The makers got the copyright to the Kala chashma song earlier — and the track will be out on July 27, read a statement.
The first glimpse of the song was released in the virtual world on Wednesday.
Johar said: “Kala chashma 2.0 is a party starter and has been the heartbeat of the Punjabi music scene for over a decade... Our revamped and rejuvenated version has enhanced the energy to an altogether different level.”
The filmmaker went on to say that the song is in sync with the ethos of the film, which is directed by Nitya Mehra.
The film, which releases in India on September 9, narrates what happens in the life of a person from age 18 to 60.
“Baar Baar Dekho is a celebration of life and love, and we thought the song would encapsulate that ethos in the best possible way... It kickstarts our campaign and the trailer will be out soon after.”
The song has been composed and recreated by Badshah, with vocals of Amar Arshi, Badshah and Neha Kakkar.
Choreographed by duo Bosco-Caesar, the song is a remake of Arshi’s 1990 Punjabi chartbuster Tennu kala chashma jajta ve.
Mehra also said it is a celebratory song and is “a fun, foot-tapping, funky number that’ll put a swag in everyone’s step”.
