Yana Gupta grooves to ‘Laila O Laila’ in Challo Dilli

Sources said,”Both Lara and Zeenat have been Miss Indias. Lara has always idolized Zeenat Aman and wanted to in some way represent her in her first home production — that’s when she decided to base an item song on the cult hit ‘Laila O Laila’.”

If sources are to be believed,the song is one to watch out for and is very rustic yet exotic in its format. “Lara is very excited to show the song to Zeenat Aman and have her feedback on it,” sources added.

This is not the first time that the 70s siren turned inspiration for a film in 2011. Earlier,Deepika Padukone chose a fast-paced track ‘Mit Jaaye Ghum’ a la Zeenat Aman for Rohan Sippy’s ‘Dum Maaro Dum’. While Aman had chosen to portray the flower power generation on the song in Dev Anand’ Hare Rama Hare Krishna’,Padukone gave vent to drug addicts in Goa on the song.

Producer Krishika Lulla said,”We are all very excited about the song ‘Laila O Laila’ which is a desi rendition of the original. We’ve received great feedback for it and hopefully audiences should love it just as much”
