Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif will appear in a song titled Aithey Aa in their upcoming film Bharat and it is set in the backdrop of a wedding, a leading daily reports. Director Ali Abbas Zafar said that the song characterizes a gender-bending concept as women will be seen teasing men in Aithey Aa.
“Usually, in such a set-up in Hindi films, you see the boy teasing the girl, but because Katrina’s character (Kumud, also known as Madam Sir) here is as strong as Salman’s (the titular Bharat), the whole song was written from the point of view of women teasing the men,” Ali told the daily, adding that the song has been choreographed by Vaibhavi Merchant while Vishal-Shekhar composed it.
“Irshad Kamil has beautifully captured the flavour in his words. Just imagine, if Didi Tera Devar Deewana was reversed with Madhuri (Dixit) and Salman switching places… that’s what our song is. The brief was to create a peppy dance number with the entire family shaking a leg,” Ali added.
Aithey Aa has vocals by Akasa Singh, Neeti Mohan and Kamaal Khan. It was filmed at Filmcity in Mumbai in January on an elaborate set.
Bharat is an official adaptation of the 2014 South Korean film Ode To My Father. It is produced by Atul Agnihotri’s Reel Life Production Pvt Ltd and Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series. Co-starring Sunil Grover, Disha Patani, Jackie Shroff, Tabu and Nora Fatehi, Bharat is scheduled to release on Eid.
