On Mohammed Rafi's 38th death anniversary on 31 July, actor Anil Kapoor unveiled a recreated version of the iconic song Badan pe sitare from his upcoming Fanney Khan. The new version is sung by Sonu Nigam.
“Honoring & remembering #MohammadRafi sahab on his death anniversary with this small tribute, we can never match up to his talent but this is just our way of showing our love for him!” Anil posted on Twitter.
Watch the song below.
The original song was picturised on actress Vyjayanthimala and late veteran actor Shammi Kapoor and featured in the 1969 film Prince.
Fanney Khan is the Hindi adaptation of the Dutch film Everybody's Famous. Co-produced by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and directed by Atul Manjrekar, the film also features Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Divya Dutta and Rajkummar Rao, with Pihu Sand playing a key role. It’s slated to release on 3 August.
