Arjun Kapoor was seated in T-Series head Bhushan Kumar's office when he first heard Yo Yo Honey Singh and Jaz Dhami's hit 2012 single "High Heels". Instantly hooked to the catchy beats, he introduced his Ki and Ka director R Balki to the song.

"To our surprise, Balki loved it," Bhushan, who bought the song's rights last year, told Mirror, pointing out that the party number is a radical departure from Balki's signature soundtracks.

Shot earlier this month on a grand set at Bandra's Mehboob Studio, the song features Kareena Kapoor, who sported a 32-kg lehenga for the song, while her onscreen husband Arjun, according to a source from the film's unit, grooved along shirtless.

The song has been recreated by Meet Brothers (of "Baby Doll" and "Chittiyan Kalaiyan" fame) while lyricist Kumar has penned the number. "When Balki heard the original song, he appointed me as the "music producer" for his film. He requested for an album of five tracks," Bhushan says, adding that the director even asked for some situational tracks.

Turns out, it's not just the film's unusual pairing, where Kareena plays a high-flying career-woman and Arjun, a stay-at-home husband, that will grab eyeballs. Bhushan insists that the Ki and Ka soundtrack will shock the audience. "No one has heard this kind of music in a Balki film before. He gave me complete creative freedom with the music but was hands-on with this one song," he says. The original number dominated the popularity charts for quite a while in Northern India.

Guess Kareena Kapoor will now take it all the way to the top of national chartbusters list now.
