The redux trend has solidly held Bollywood. Vidya Balan’s Tumhari Sulu executive Suresh Triveni is glad to reproduce Sridevi’s mainstream melody Hawa Hawaii for his film. He disclosed to The Indian Express, “I am elated to have such a cult number in the film. It plays a key role in the film and is not just a remix for the end credits. Our intention is to pay a true tribute to the original and revive it in its full glory. I am looking forward to the flower power team of Vidya and Neha (Dhupia) to break a leg.” Hawa Hawaii is from the first soundtrack of Mr India, which was additionally reused by the creators of Shaitaan in 2011.
In Tumhari Sulu, the producers have chosen to hold Kavita Krishnamurthy’s voice like Karan Johar held Bappi Lahiri’s voice in Tamma redux for Badrinath Ki Dulhania. In Shaitaan, Suman Sridhar was reserved into sing the tune. Tamma arranger Tanishk Bagchi will likewise re-try Hawa Hawaii for Tumhari Sulu. “Giving a new life to the classic hits makes them worth revisiting for the future generation. And we have no intentions of reviving the old number. We just make them young for the youngsters and worth revisiting even after 10 years from now,” Tanishk told The Indian Express.
In Tumhari Sulu, Vidya Balan plays the role of a zesty radio jockey named Sulochana. The film also stars Neha Dhupia and Manav Kaul and is slated to hit the screens in December.
