Aap Jaisa Koi, a classic Zeenat Aman song, being recreated by Malaika Arora for Ayushmann Khurrana’s An Action Hero. Watch
In the movie An Action Hero, starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Malaika Arora is back with a brand-new dance number. Zeenat Aman’s Aap Jaisa Koi from Qurbaani has been redone by her.
Malaika Arora is back with yet another flashy dance number. Ayushmann Khurrana makes a brief cameo appearance in the song, Aap Jaisa Koi, which is from his upcoming film An Action Hero. Zeenat Aman’s original song from the 1980 film Qurbani has a very different vibe from this one because Ayushmann from An Action Hero is featured throughout the song.
Tanishk Bagchi remade the song, and Zahrah S. Khan and Altamash Faridi sung it again with the revised lyrics. Indeevar composed the melody and words for the original song, which Nazia Hassan sang. In the original, Feroz Khan watched while Zeenat performed in a red dress in a bar; in the remake, Malaika Arora dons a short, shimmering gown,and Ayushmann joins her at the very end. But compared to Malaika’s prior hit dance songs like Munni Badnam Hui, Anarkali Disco Chali, or Hoth Rasiley, the song falls short.
The opening number of the movie Jehda Nasha also featured a cover of a popular Punjabi song by Amar Jalal and IP Singh. It features Nora Fatehi dancing while wearing a sparkly costume. The singer is joined by Ayushmann as well.
Tanishk Bagchi had before defended himself by claiming that his reimagined songs had made the original performers famous. You don’t even know who the original singers of Jedha Nasha were, he said in an interview with Hindustan Times (Amar Jalal and IP Singh). Only because I recreated my name do you know it. People don’t know who sang the song; it is titled Log Jaante Hi Nahi ki Kisne Gaaya Hai Wo Gaana. However, the decision to recreate the song and cast Nora Fatehi and Ayushmann Khurrana will help the original vocalists gain recognition. We are just starting to open a door for these people to enter society.
An Action Hero, starring Ayushmann Khurrana, will open in theatres on December 2. Jaideep Ahlawat plays a key role in it as well.
