Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur-starrer Ok Jaanu will pay a tribute to Oscar-winning composer A R Rahman by recreating the magic of music-maestro’s 1998 track ‘Humma Humma’ in the film.
Filmmaker Karan Johar, who is one of the producers on the film, took to Twitter to reveal that rapper Badshah has recreated the popular track now called ‘The Humma Song’.
“When Badshah pays a tribute to AR Rahman with #thehummasong…,” Karan wrote.
Shraddha and Aditya will be seen shaking a leg to the song which is scheduled to release on Thursday. Music composer Tanishk Bagchi and Badshah have conceptualised the track with the latter rapping in it too. Vaibhavi Merchant has done the choreography.

Badshah is hopeful of a positive audience reaction for the song. “There are few elements of the original song that we have retained. Those who have heard it have liked it, the ultimate verdict is of the audience, I am hoping for a positive feedback,” Badshah said.
