‘Main Khiladi Tu Anari’ is the latest 90s Bollywood song to get caught in the wave of remakes and remixes. This time the song has been reworked for Akshay Kumar and Emraan Hashmi-starrer ‘Selfiee’. Akshay Kumar who was a part of the original is seen reprising the original choreography along with his new co-star Emraan Hashmi. The song also features Nushrratt Bharuccha and Diana Penty. But the choreography is not the only thing retained in the rework. "All my songs that have been remixed have retained my original voice,” says an elated Abhijeet Bhattacharya who sang the original song in 1994. The song was a part of the film titled ‘Main Khiladi Tu Anari’.
Talking to mid-day about ‘Main Khiladi Tu Anari’, the prolific singer who has over 6000 songs to his credit shares, “This was not a popular track then as it is today. Now it has become a rage. In the entire film, only this song worked. The other songs did not get this kind of response.”
