After the party number “Tauba Tauba” and the season’s sultry track “Jaanam,” the makers of Vicky Kaushal, Ammy Virk, and Tripti Dimri’s Bad Newz are back with the film’s third song, “Mere Mehboob Mere Sanam”. This track is a recreated version of the iconic song from Shah Rukh Khan, Juhi Chawla, and Sonali Bendre’s film Duplicate.

For those concerned about another remix, rest assured that the Bad Newz version maintains the essence of the original. The song was originally composed by Anu Malik, with lyrics by Javed Akhtar, and sung by Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik. The music for the new version has been recreated by Lijo George and DJ Chetas. The music video features Vicky and Ammy’s characters competing for the attention of Tripti Dimri.

Vicky Kaushal shared the video on Instagram and wrote, “Mehboob vs Sanam just got real!!! #MereMehboobMereSanam SONG OUT NOW! #BadNewz in cinemas THIS FRIDAY!!!”
