Yash Raj Films, the maker of Bunty Aur Babli 2, has retained the title song from the first film of the franchise Bunty Aur Babli (2005).
Sharing the reason for this, Rani Mukerji, who has reprised her role from the first film, said in a statement, “I think right from the moment YRF decided to make Bunty Aur Babli 2, they were sure that they would incorporate the title track from the original film even though our movie is completely rebooting the franchise. The original tune was the soul of the first film and it is the soul of the second too! It’s supremely catchy and it’s stood the test of time because everyone who is a lover of Hindi cinema loves this tune.”
Saif Ali Khan, who has replaced Abhishek Bachchan as Bunty in the movie, said that the track has been incorporated beautifully in this film. "It represents both pairs of Bunty and Babli as really mischievous, cool, fun-loving con couples who love living on the edge because they are essentially thrill-seekers. The title track now represents the fun and the chaos that these two jodis will bring on-screen. I had loved the track. It’s a fitting homage to the original film," he said.
Siddhant Chaturvedi, another new addition to the cast, went down memory lane after listening to the track. “I’m so happy that the title track has been brought back for Bunty Aur Babli 2! For me, this tune is just pure nostalgia! It’s so cool and so fun. It evokes so many memories of watching the film with my family. Whenever this tune is played, you knew that Bunty and Babli were up to some mischief and this time you will have a double dose of that!” he said.
The song has been written by Amitabh Bhattacharya and sung by Siddharth Mahadevan.
Sharvari, who is making her debut in the crime caper, stated that the title track from the original film is something that every Hindi movie lover recognizes and absolutely falls in love with. "So, it will evoke nostalgia for those who are lovers of the first film and also add a dose of retro cool for our generation! This track, with its incredible music, will definitely get everyone hooked on," she said.
Directed by the first-time filmmaker Varun V Sharma, Bunty Aur Babli 2 will be released in theatres on 19 November.
