ABHIJEET Bhattacharya: Overwhelmed to see the massive response for my song ‘Main Khiladi’ on Akshay Kumar in ‘Selfiee’

Renowned evergreen singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya has given us some 90s golden songs that audiences still cherish and enjoy after decades. The recreation of Abhijeet Bhattacharya’s iconic song ‘Main Khiladi Tu Anari’ for the film ‘Selfiee’ has created a huge buzz along with bringing 90s nostalgia. This is the first time Abhijeet’s voice has been used in Dharma Production which has created a storm equally to the original song in the 90s.

Abhijeet Bhattacharya is the reason and the voice behind Akshay Kumar’s most of the 90s superhit songs and has several chartbusters in movies such as all 'Khiladi' franchisee films including Sabse bada khiladi, Khiladi, Main Khiladi tu anari, Khiladiyo Ke Khiladi, Mr. & Mrs Khiladi, Khiladi 420 and many more. He has sung more than 6035 songs in over 1000 films and is still making waves today with the remake of ‘Main Khiladi Tu Anari’. The original men behind the song have created the new version which is Abhijeet Bhattacharya along with Udit Narayan and the music is given by none other than Anu Malik. The remix wishes to woo the palette of the quintessential club hopper and add the zing element in equal measures. While Akshay features in the new version this time too, Saif Ali Khan has been replaced by Emraan Hashmi, along with Nushrratt Bharuccha & Diana Penty who seamlessly fitted the bill with an equal measure of enthusiasm. It's a fun tribute to the 90s and the whole recreated version tapped the energies of the camera.

On being asked about the reprised version of his symbolic song, Abhijeet Bhattacharya says, “I have sung this song originally and now the remake version has given me equally immense joy & definitely reminded me of the time when I first sang it for the original song. It became quite popular then & seeing the remake version ruling on today’s audience, honestly makes my heart full. From Salman Khan to Tiger Shroff to Ganesh Acharya to Ram Charan, from peers to audiences, everybody showing immense love to my song make me feel touched and honestly the whole experience feels surreal.”
