The title track of Aashiq Banaya Aapne, the 2005 Emraan Hashmi, Tanushree Dutta and Sonu Sood-starrer that instantly soared on the popularity charts, is set to return in the fourth instalment of the Hate Story franchise that features Urvashi Rautela and Karan Wahi in the lead roles. The Himesh Reshammiya composition has been recreated by Tanishk Bagchi.

Speaking about the song, the composer says, “The original track is one of the best love songs I have heard and I’m happy I got a chance to redefine it my way. The new track is like a peppy club number. Himesh sir’s vocals are intact but we have introduced a female voice as the song is picturised on Urvashi and who better than Neha Kakkar for it.”

An excited Himesh describes the recreated version as “kickass” and asserts it’s a “sure shot hit once again”. “My voice has been beautifully used and Neha sounds awesome,” he gushes.
