Mumbai, April 06: Bollywood actor Lara Dutta, who is all charged up for her first home production, ‘Challo Dilli’, says it was her husband Mahesh Bhupathi who conceived the item song ‘Laila O Laila’ which features Yana Gupta.
“We needed a song in the film that had a little bit of masti and was based on a woman. Mahesh loved the film ‘Jhoom Barabar Jhoom’ and my character was Laila in the film. So it was his idea that we should get Laila and remix it. Yana is doing an item song ‘Laila O Laila’ in the film. No one except Yana was approached,” Lara told PTI here.
“We were lucky enough to get the rights of the song. It is not a tribute to Zeenatji but I would say it is a tribute to the iconic song.
