Zareen Khan steps into Malaika Arora Khan’s shoes for a song in ‘Wajah Tum Ho’

It’s been a few hours that the trailer of erotic thriller ‘Wajah Tum Ho’ is released. Apart from the interesting concept and the lead pair’s sizzling chemistry, what also grabs your attention is the iconic dance number ‘Maahi Ve’ from ‘Kaante’ (2002) heard in the background. And if you loved that original number which had featured actress Malaika Arora Khan, here’s an interesting news. Zareen Khan, who was last seen in the sensuous single ‘Pyaar Manga Hai’, will now recreate this iconic track in this Vishal Pandya directorial.

Sharing her excitement to step into Malaika Arora Khan’s shoes, Zareen Khan said, “I am super excited to have been chosen for the recreated version of Malaika’s iconic song. Stepping into her shoes comes with a lot of pressure; she looked really hot in that number.” [sic]

The original number had featured a pole dance from Malaika, but Zareen chose not to reveal if this recreated version will see her doing this. The actress will start rehearsing for the song next week. “The shoot is scheduled to take place towards the month-end. It is one of my all-time favourite songs, so I am excited and nervous at the same time. I hope I can do justice to it,” added the ‘Veer’ actress.

Zareen will be teaming up with her ‘Hate Story 3’ director Vishal Pandya who has helmed ‘Wajah Tum Ho’ as well. Vishal was even asked why he chose Zareen for the song and he says, “It’s a cult song and we wanted someone who could take it to another level.”

This would be the second time for Zareen to dance to a recreated number. Earlier, she was seen shaking a leg on ‘Khallas’ track from ‘Veerappan’ which was originally featured in ‘Company’ movie with actress Eesha Koppikar.
