Mirror was the first to report (August 20) that Vishal Bhardwaj has roped in Malaika Arora for a special appearance in his upcoming comedy-drama Pataakha which revolves around two warring sisters from a small village in Rajasthan. The song in question is “Hello Hello”, set to tune by Vishal and crooned by his singer-wife Rekha. With references to WhatsApp and social networking, it is carefully coached in desi lingo by Gulzar.

Now, we have got a picture of the actress in action and going by her latka-jhtakas, “Hello, Hello” promises all the sizzle of Bipasha Basu in Omkara’s “Beedi Jalaile” and “Namak Ishq Ka” and Priyanka Chopra’s Kaminey act, “Raat Ke Dhai Baje”.

Talking about her return to the screen three years after the special track, “Fashion Khatam Mujhpe”, in the 2015 romcom, Dolly Ki Doli, Malaika said that she has immense respect for Vishal and Gulzar. “Rekha has sung the song. They have created magic in the past and I’m happy to be a part of this track. I love the title of the film and the title of the song,” she asserted.

Choreographed by Ganesh Acharya, the song was filmed on August 23 and 24 at a studio in Mira Road. “There were about 18-20 dancers accompanying Malaika and they were so much in sync that the song was wrapped up in a day and a half. It’s going to be a real pataakha,” promises a source from the sets.
