Madhuri, Remo, Karan groove to ‘Amar Akbar Anthony’

“Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa – Dancing with the Stars” judges Madhuri Dixit, Remo Dsouza and Karan Johar have stepped into the shoes of veteran actors Amitabh Bachchan , Rishi Kapoor and Vinod Khanna’s shoes for a promo of the upcoming season of the dance reality show.

They have danced to a customised version of the title track of 1977 film “Amar Akbar Anthony”. The song has been recreated and sung by multi-talented singer Jaaspreet Kohli, who has also lent his voice to the song “Nimma nimma”, composed by A.R. Rahman for the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics.

Director Karan Johar is excited about featuring in the new version of the song, which was originally sung by Kishore Kumar, Shailendra Kumar and Mahendra Kapoor. “It’s a great feeling to be dancing on a song as popular as this and we literally are doing some ‘anhoni’ (impossible) things on the show this time! We hope the audiences like our dance as well,” he said in a statement.

Choreographer Remo, who has choreographed the twisted version of the song, said: “It’s an honour to be choreographing such a legendary song and at the same time performing it. It was a challenge to present it in a different way that appeals to the audience and I hope I’ve done that.”

The new season of “Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa” will be aired on Colors.
