Aishwarya Rai, Rajkummar Rao fall in love, ruin a good song in Fanney Khan’s Halka Halka

Aishwarya Rai and Rajkummar Rao enjoy the good ol’ Stockholm syndrome in the new song from Fanney Khan.

The makers of Fanney Khan have shared yet another bad rendition of a perfect, popular old song. This time, music director Amit Trivedi decided to shred Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s Ye Jo Halka Halka Suroor Hai to pieces while the film director got Aishwarya Rai and Rajkummar Rao to romance and eat chowmein to it.

Rajkummar Rao and Aishwarya Rai fall in love in Fanney Khan’s new song.

Halka Halka, released on Saturday, mixes Nusrat’s melody in Divya Kumar’s voice with heavy bass, a bad beat drop and new vocals from Sunidhi Chauhan. It is just what the clubs needed for their next Bollywood night.

Also, here is Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan singing his original:

Fanney Khan is Atul Manjerekar’s debut film as a director and releases on August 3.
