Disney’s next Bollywood release Selfiee has dropped its first song earlier today. The track is the recreated version of Akshay Kumar’s hit 90s song “Main Khiladi Tu Anari” that featured him alongside Saif Ali Khan. The new rendition features Emran Hashmi matching steps with him on the dance floor and recreating the hook steps. Selfiee’s leading ladies Diana Penty and Nushrratt Bharuchha also join them in the dance number.
Directed by Raj Mehta, director of Good Newwz (2019) and JugJugg Jeeyo (2022), the film is much awaited to kickstart a fine 2023 featuring the fresh duo of Akshay Kumar and Emraan Hashmi in the lead.
The story of ‘Selfiee’ revolves around a famous actor Vijay Kumar (played by Akshay Kumar) who needs to renew his driver’s license and runs across a super-fan in the form of RTO Inspector Om Prakash, performed by Emraan Hashmi. He tries to help his idol obtain a driving license providing he undertakes all of the necessary tests, which leads to a rivalry between the superstar and his superfan attracting the media and public’s attention.
Presented by Dharma Productions, the film has been co-produced by Hiroo Yash Johar, Aruna Bhatia, Supriya Menon, Karan Johar, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Apoorva Mehta and Listin Stephen.
