Sushmita Sen’s ‘Dilbar’ Song Recreated For John Abraham’s Satyamev Jayate

Sushmita Sen set many hearts aflutter, when she grooved to her chartbuster Dilbar, from her 1999 release, Sirf Tum and the song has been recreated for John Abraham’s upcoming film Satyamev Jayate.

The new version will have an Arabic theme and Nora Fatehi will be displaying her enviable belly dancing skills in the dance number. The video also features John however, he won't be shaking a leg in it. The song was shot over the weekend in Mumbai and Nora practiced for 10 days, before she shot for it.

“Doing a remake of an iconic song is always nerve racking because you never know if you can actually do justice to it. Sushmita Sen was iconic in the song and I hope I match up to her. I’m so lucky to have got this chance and thankful that Nikkhil Advani sir, Bhushan Kumar sir and milap zaveri sir trusted me to be able to do a song like this. The take on the song is very unique and different. It’s going to be one of the most visually stunning songs, with amazing hypnotizing dance moves I am sure this song will become a rage with the audiences,” said Nora.

Talking about the song, Abraham said, "When I heard the powerful script of SatyamevaJayate, I knew that we had most of the ingredients that are required for an out-and-out commercial ‘masaledaar’ film. With the addition of Dilbar, one of the most catchy songs of the 90s and the way it has been stunningly picturized by Adil and Nora, I am certain we have a winner.”

Producer Bhushan Kumar added, “I still remember when the song released back then it was an instant hit. Since a really long time I wanted to recreate this song with modern notes. The song appears in an important sequence of the film and the Arabic theme looks splendid. “

Director Milap Zaveri stated, "Dilbar was a rage back then when it released and our new version is also going to be a rage. Bhushan sir has given “Satyameva Jayate” a dash of sizzle and glamour with this blockbuster song and Nora is terrific in it!"

Satyameva Jayate is all set to release on August 15.
