Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani in ‘Urvashi’ Remake, Lust Stories Actress Is Already Nervous About the Comparisons

As much as we hate to tell you this, but we’ll be still telling you that one more cult song is being remade! It is AR Rahman’s one of the most popular and loved tracks till date, "Urvashi"! Prabhudheva and Nagma’s 1994 Tamil romcom Kadhalan gave the audience this song to cherish forever. Now, as per the reports in Mumbai Mirror, Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani will feature in this music video composed, written and sung by Yo Yo Honey Singh.

“We’ve changed the lyrics, but the hook line remains the same. The song however doesn’t showcase a love story but a new-age relationship between Shahid and Kiara. Even the choreography is contemporary. We are shooting on a club set in Film City. We also filmed at a parking lot on Sunday to give the video an underground kind of a feel,” choreographer Sanjay Shetty was quoted saying by the tabloid.

Meanwhile, the Lust Stories actress is already nervous about the pressure of recreating the iconic song and the inevitable comparisons! “I know the pressure one goes through when a classic song is recreated. There will be comparisons. This could be my ode to Prabhu sir, I am a huge fan,” she says. She also added that she was quite nervous to match up with the Padmaavat actor’s dancing skills.

Well, although we are a bit excited to see the chemistry and dance performance of both Shahid and Kiara, we wish it was some brand-new song. Bollywood fans are worn-out listening to the remakes over 2 years now and how we wish this trend takes a break now. What do you think?
