Taapsee Pannu and Saqib Saleem are all set to go retro as they shake a leg to the Aamir Khan-Juhi Chawla chartbuster, “Gazab Ka Hai Din” from the their 1988 Romeo-Juliet romance, Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. The duo recently filmed the romantic number for their upcoming film, Dil Juunglee. The Udit Narayan-Alka Yagnik duet is one of Hindi cinema’s most iconic romantic songs and is recreated by Tanishk Bagchi who earlier worked on other retro songs like “Humma Humma” (OK Jaanu) and “Tamma Tamma” (Badrinath Ki Dulhania) among others.

“The hook-line has been retained but the words and tune of the antara have been changed to make the song peppier and relatable for today’s audience. It’s been sung by Jubin Nautiyal and Prakriti Kakkar,” informs a source.

Aleya Sen Sharma’s debut directorial, the romcom is set in Delhi and revolves around an odd couple and their relationship. Taapsee plays the daughter of a London-based tycoon who teaches English and dreams of a happily married life. In contrast, Saqib’s character is an ambitious fitness trainer who aspires to be a movie star.

Taapsee has been busy with Soorma, the Sandeep Singh biopic, and is set to kickstart Anurag Kashyap’s Manmarziyan next. Saqib is currently filming Race 3, also featuring Salman Khan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor.
