Now, News18 Showsha has exclusively learnt that the reprise version of Main Nikla Gadi Leke will be co-sung by Udit Narayan and Arijit Singh. The music has been composed by Mithoon.

A source reveals, “The original version of Main Nikla… was a peppy number which become a huge hit. Even after 22 years, the song is a rage and is a regular at parties and marriage functions. When they decided to recreate the song, the idea was not to tamper with the original yet add some freshness to it. The makers along with Mithoon decided to bring in a new voice and everyone decided that Arijit Singh would be the right choice for the song.”

The source adds, “Apart from Arijit, the makers also wanted to have some nostalgic value to the song and decided to retain Udit Narayan as they didn’t want to tamper with the original track. Apparently the new song will also feature Utkarsh Sharma, who plays Sunny’s son in the film. While Udit’s voice will be for Sunny, Arijit has lent his voice to Utkarsh.”

Confirming the news, a source close to the film said, “Yes, Arijit Singh is going to be co-singing the song with Uditji. Arijit and Uditji have create magic. The makers have not made any huge amendments to the original track as they didn’t want to change the soul of a classic which people have adored for so many years. Also, they respect what Uttamji (Uttam Singh, the original creator of the song) has created and they have done these recreations as a mark of respect to him.”

The source further added that Arijit will be singing one more song in Gadar 2. “Arijit has sung another song Dil Jhoom which is a completely original song.”
