Mumbai: Popular track ‘Raat Baaqi Baat Baaqi’ from megastar Amitabh Bachchan‘s film “Namak Halal” will be recreated for the remake of 1969 thriller “Ittefaq“. The new version, starring Sidharth Malhotra, Sonakshi Sinha and Akshaye Khanna, will be produced by Karan Johar, Shah Rukh Khan and Juno Chopra.
‘Raat Baaqi Baat Baaqi’ was sung by Bappi Lahiri and Asha Bhosle in “Namak Halal”. “It’s a song less film. We will have a promotional song but it won’t be part of the film. We have got this song ‘Raat Baaki Baat Baaki’. It will be composed by Tanishk Bagchi,” Juno, who is the co-producer on the film, told PTI.
