Sunny Leone’s to dance to ‘Qurbani’ song in ‘Raees’

BizAsia reported recently that Shah Rukh Khan starrer ‘Raees’ would have an item song by none other than Sunny Leone. Further details about the song in question have now emerged.

Mumbai Mirror report that the song will be a contemporary re-recorded version of Laila O Laila, originally from ‘Qurbani’ (1980). “Raees is set in the ’80s and there was need of a song sequence. The makers unanimously selected “Laila O Laila” which perfectly fits with the dark, gangster theme and period. It was suggested to Shah Rukh and it was his idea to get Sunny on board. A lavish set is being created in Mumbai and rehearsals are on in full swing,” said a source.

The set-up of the Leone song is said to be very similar to the original. The source adds, “She will begin shooting for Raees next month. It will be a two-day schedule”.

‘Raees’ also stars Mahira Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui and is directed by Rahul Dholakia.
